Building information modeling is regarded as the second revolution of engineering design after CAD, which is the key to digital transformation of civil Engineering Industry. But the application in bridge engineering is still rare, and research and application still need to be strengthened. In order to provide some references and new ideas for the future development of BIM in bridge engineering, this paper reviews, summarizes the research and application progress of bridge engineering BIM in 2020 from the following three aspects: 1)industrial policy, standards and guide, 2)basic research and software development, 3)application in bridge engineering.
