Abstract: With the increasing applications of Building Information Modeling(BIM)technology in civil projects, there are also increasing numbers of research of BIM technology in the bridge engineering field. This paper systematically analyzes the research and application of BIM technology in bridge engineering from three aspects, including Design, Construction and Operation & Maintenance, and then summarized the basic characteristics of research status and engineering application of BIM technology in bridge engineering in our country. Finally, this paper accordingly proposed some suggestions for the future research and application of BIM technology in bridge engineering.
