Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Driven by social and economic development, transportation networks continue to expand, creating a growing demand for bridge infrastructure. This demand comes with major contemporary challenges, such as the need for longer spans, better disaster resilience, and higher sustainability. In response, the field of bridge engineering is undergoing a profound transformation, enabled by recent progress in new materials, real-time monitoring and powerful computing tools. Moreover, the rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping the design, construction, and maintenance of bridges.
This Special Issue seeks to brings together the latest research and practical innovations that are shaping the future of bridge engineering. We welcome contributions that present novel methods and technologies to help create safer, smarter, more durable, and more resilient bridges for tomorrow.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Infrastructures is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
