Umm, that would be the roof. Note the spotlight, horn etc?
Also note the "upper deck" is actually located below the bridge.

Correct, however it is stated that the river has moved since the beginning of the war. There's reference to an entire bridge a kilometre or more away from the river, left stranded and crossing only the remnants of the main channel.
Without regular maintenance the river is returning to it's natural state as also evidenced in the random encounter possibilities - snags and sandbanks being two.
Note that the Adam's intention was to rescue his family, nothing more. That means maybe a dozen people. As it turns out there's a LOT more than a dozen people who
may require rescue.
It's also worth pointing out that the VQ is
Adam's boat - The paddle boat is not. The mission is Adam's. He knows the VQ like the back of his hand, he does not know any other boat anywhere near as well. The VQ is adequate for shifting the necessary supplies and people to get his limited mission accomplished.
