Abstract The increasing complexity of transportation and highway infrastructure projects has accelerated the need for integrated, data-driven solutions. Building Information Modeling (BIM) has emerged as a powerful digital methodology that supports the entire lifecycle of infrastructure assets from planning and design to construction, operation, and maintenance. This review paper presents a comprehensive synthesis of current academic research, government initiatives, and real-world case studies related to the adoption and application of BIM in transportation systems. Key areas explored include the functional roles of BIM in route alignment, traffic simulation, 4D/5D modeling, asset management, and digital twin development. The paper also highlights the integration of BIM with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, and artificial intelligence to enhance infrastructure performance and sustainability. Case studies from the UK, USA, India, Germany, and Singapore illustrate successful BIM implementations and their tangible benefits. Despite its transformative potential, BIM adoption in the transportation domain faces challenges such as interoperability issues, lack of road-specific standards, and workforce skill gaps. The review identifies critical research gaps and outlines future directions for policy, practice, and technology development. Overall, the paper underscores BIM’s potential as a strategic enabler for smarter, more resilient, and sustainable transportation infrastructure.
