bridge deck
Traffic-bearing platform overhead
A bridge deck is the roadway surface of a bridge—the flat structural platform that carries traffic across the span.
The deck sits atop the bridge's supporting framework and bears the direct load of vehicles and pedestrians.
The bridge deck needed resurfacing after years of heavy truck traffic.
In card games, a bridge deck is simply a standard 52-card deck used for playing bridge.
