When combined with the addition of gravel or asphalt to provide the primary wear surface for vehicle traffic, the galvanized decking is largely impervious to rusting and abrasive wear. Functionally, the galvanized decking allows the vehicle wheel loads to be distributed to the main support beams. • Galvanized steel, roll-formed bridge decking has been used as the primary structural support between main bridge beams on new bridge applications as well as bridge rehabilitation projects for over 60 years.
