jats:pGlobally, bridges are rapidly aging, and traditional maintenance approaches face significant challenges in terms of efficiency and cost. To overcome these challenges, considerable research has been conducted to introduce enhanced bridge management systems (BMSs) based on bridge information modeling (BrIM) from various perspectives. However, most studies have highlighted the advantages of BrIM, while neglecting the practical issues that potential users may encounter on existing bridges. The primary problem is digitizing existing bridges that have not yet adopted BrIM. The universal applicability of BrIM should be carefully considered from the perspective of national maintenance authorities managing thousands of bridges, because modeling based on commercial software is expected to be time-consuming and costly. Therefore, in this study, information and functional requirements were derived from interviews with stakeholders, including bridge owners, managers, and site inspectors. Based on this understanding, a data-driven modeling approach using basic bridge information was implemented, and an inventory code system was integrated to efficiently manage and utilize the data. Moreover, mapping and deep learning-based vectorization were considered for managing inspection information, and features for bridge assessment, dashboards, and reporting were incorporated to support decision-making. The developed BrIM demonstrated the potential for enhancing maintenance efficiency through a case study. Particularly, significant improvements were observed in mandatory documentation tasks, along with their investigation and analysis, as required by regulations. Additionally, efficient modeling and data management were achieved for the existing bridge.</jats:p>
