Which item number corresponds to Deck?

• A. 60
• B. 62
• C. 58
• D. 59

Answer: (C)

Deck is the bridge’s top surface that carries traffic, including the deck slab and its wearing surface. When the inspection item list is organized, the item that focuses on the deck’s condition and features is the one that corresponds to Deck. That’s why it’s the best choice here: it directly matches the element being evaluated, rather than addressing other parts of the structure such as substructure, superstructure, or other components. The other options would pertain to those different parts, so they don’t fit Deck. In practice, look for items describing the deck’s wear, cracking, delamination, deck joints, and drainage, which signal deck-related concerns.
