A balustrade structure for a curved escalator wherein at least one of an inner deck board and an outer deck board constituting a balustrade base portion of the escalator is constructed with a plurality of curved strips of a thin sheet which is straight in the transverse direction. A longitudinally-extending side edge of the curved sheet strips may be covered by a joint. The deck may comprise a main deck extending along the balustrade panel and an end deck disposed at the lengthwise ends of the main deck for covering the ends. The end deck has formed in its edge portion a slot into which the longitudinally-extending side edge of the main deck is inserted, and each of the deck boards comprises a main deck and an end deck. The end deck has formed in its edge portion a slot into which the longitudinally-extending side edge of the main deck is inserted, the slot has a width greater than the thickness of the main deck, and a space between the slot and the main deck is filled with a shim which is secured to the end deck.
