The Indian Bridge Management System (IBMS) was researched from 2003 and has finally been implemented since 2015. During the four years implementation phase of the system, many shortcomings were encountered and lessons learned. This enabled research to continue and to enhance IBMS to create the Unified Bridge Management System (UBMS). The article enumerates various developments in IBMS that resulted in the evolution of UBMS. The article further narrates the integration of innovative technologies in UBMS that have resulted in the elimination of most of the shortcoming that were identified and noticed during implementation. The key function of any bridge management system is the management of funds during the entire lifecycle of the bridges, which depends on the deterioration model and the assessment of risk. Inventory gathering, inspections and testing are all major activities that fall under the remit of a bridge information system and are essential for the maturation of bridge management. One of the focuses driving research the world over has been to make deterioration modelling more realistic. Deterioration modelling, which to date has been based on the judgement of the engineers undertaking inspections, has moved to accommodate factual data based on the performance monitoring of the distressed elements of bridges. The Bridge Information Model (BIM) evolved as a solution and tool for gathering information about bridge design and the construction phase. Management of the lifecycle is now being explored within BIM. The integration of BIM with BMS has ensured the maximization of the utilization of the strengths of both BIM and UBMS. This integration has resulted in the enhanced efficiency of predictive tools essential for bridge management.
