Peru is one of the most diverse countries from a geographical and climatic point view, where there are three large ecosystem regions called coast, Sierra, jungle. These characteristics result in country having many hydrographic basins, with rivers significant dimensions terms width length channel. In this sense, permanent need to provide connectivity promote trade between communities through road bridge infrastructure.

This paper reviewed the application of parametric building information modelling (BIM) in bridge engineering, highlighting its contributions to improving workflows, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, enhancing interoperability, and optimizing design processes. It examined how modeling facilitated rapid exploration simulation-driven optimization through flexible, rule-based relationships. Case studies illustrated use techniques create customizable components assemblies, which enhanced decision-making seamless integration with analysis tools. Furthermore, this study discussed forward design, an emerging trend that improved collaboration efficiency cost control by establishing early computational definitions, as opposed following traditional document-driven methods. also emphasized importance open standards, such Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), for exchange, noting need extend these standards specialized infrastructure domains. Finally, it outlined future research directions, including scalability, multimodal data integration, generative aiming fully leverage potential BIM throughout lifecycle bridges.
