With development of bridge construction, integration of bridge design-construction-maintenance, refined management of bridge operation in China puts forward higher requirements for data storage, computing capacity etc. Cloud computing is an effective measure to satisfy the demands. By means of literature retrieval, the applications of cloud computing in bridge engineering in recent years are summarized, such aspects as bridge health monitoring, big data and internet of things in bridge, BIM and collaborative design based on cloud computing. The feasible focuses of future research and application are suggested.
