Life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) is a necessary component in bridge management systems for assessing investment decisions and identifying the most cost-effective improvement alternatives. The LCCA helps to identify the lowest cost alternative that accomplishes project objectives by providing critical information for the overall decision-making process. The main objective of this paper is to present LCCA performed for different deck overlay alternatives using the recently developed deterioration
