Abstract	Among the forces likely to be faced by management in this sector are system demands, budgets, and ways to mitigate environmental concerns. The current study thus seeks to integrate a gap-bridging methodology that involves a combined role of both Asset Health Index (AHI) and Sustainability Index (SI) for more sustainable strategies for managing infrastructure assets within cost- and carbon-limited conditions. The literature study conducted reviews articles published in 30 different journals within the period from 2020 to 2025 to critically review how data on conditions and sustainability performance are integrated to better develop the use of infrastructure resources for more sustainable means. The assessment of the conceptual framework considers viewpoints such as Technology-Organization-Environment Theory, Resource-Based View Theory, and Dynamic Capabilities View. The purpose here is to explore asset management practices as well as the conceptual framework of the developed asset management capacities in a better manner. The results have indicated that a 20% to 35% reduction in costs alongside a 25% to 40% decrease in carbon emissions can actually be achieved in comparison to other asset management priority practices based solely on asset health information. The practices are applicable when gap-bridged frameworks of AHI & SI are considered. Moreover, the literature identifies Multi-Criteria Decision-Support Models, Machine Learning Models, and Optimization Models as crucial in the process of overcoming the challenges related to sustainability. Generally, the work highlights a comprehensive outlook on the issue of sustainability in the topic of infrastructure asset management, with a crucial knowledge gap illustrated with regards to the above-named dimensions.
