Aluminum bridge decks have a number of advantages over concrete and steel decks.

Aluminum is about 80 percent lighter than concrete. This substantial weight savings allows many bridges to be strengthened without extensive reengineering of substructures. Construction time can be accelerated through the use of aluminum because it does not require the curing time needed by concrete.

Aluminum requires fewer welds than steel, eliminating many potential failure points. Compared to steel, aluminum is less expensive, both in the short term and the long term. An aluminum deck is also more resistant to corrosion and other environmental degradation. Also, aluminum is lighter and can be installed more quickly
