BIM software has now become a reliable tool for both large and small-scale construction projects. Especially in areas relating to bridge construction and design. Bridge modelling is slightly different from a traditional building modelling as bridges requires acute condition monitoring from start to finish for avoiding collapses. The BIM software is capable to analyze every corner of the structure without directly testing the physical structure itself. This allows for predictive analysis of a structure and its overall integrity. This helps to save cost, allows for virtual editing for better design and supports the structure from start to finish. There is various BIM software that engineers and designers use to produce 3D models of buildings and bridges. Examples of such BIM software are: Autodesk Revit, ArchiCAD, BIM 360 etc. Bangladesh has also used BIM software to support mega projects like Padma Bridge and Metro Rail in Dhaka (Barma et al., 2024). BIM software implementations in such cases made the industrial implementation of these structures much more manageable by promoting optimization, energy efficiency, effective collaboration and resource management (Haque et al., 2025). This research paper aims to highlight the effectiveness of BIM software, along with its implementation in terms of bridge design and construction management. The paper primarily focuses on BIM implementation of China’s Cocodala bridge as it perfectly encompasses the applications of a BIM induced bridge design and construction management.
