  -> Yes, my first thought was also the other way around, but google both versions omitting the 'slab' and you'll see that this way is 10x more common
agree  asptech: I'll second your sequence of words as being the "normal" expression

cantilevered reinforced concrete slab


Explanation:
cantilevered slab made of reinforced concrete

See http://www.engineering-timelines.com/scripts/engineeringItem...
"The central arch measures 58ft across and rises to a height of 24ft above mean water level. The two outer spans are each 50ft wide. The roadway as built was 20ft wide. In 1963 it was widened by adding 2ft and 4ft 6in-wide footpaths, using a ***cantilevered, reinforced concrete slab*** extending 5ft 6in on either side of the original bridge."
