The current status of polymer concrete overlays for concrete bridge decks is presented. The physical and mechanical properties of the concretes used, the application methods, and the performance of the overlays are described. The economics, government support, market size, and outlook for overlays are also described. It is shown that polymer overlays constructed with epoxy, methacrylate, and polyester styrene binders and graded silica and basalt aggregates can provide skid resistance and protection against intrusion by chloride ions for 15 to 20 years and are an economical technique for extending the life of concrete decks reinforced with black steel, particularly when overlays must be constructed during off-peak traffic periods to minimize inconvenience to motorists. The outlook for polymer overlays has never been better.
