Abstract: Currently, information modeling at the design stage of bridges has gained significant popularity and is now a standard tool for advanced engineers. However, what transpires with the information model in practice once the design stage is completed? Is it possible for the information model to retain its utility throughout the subsequent stages of the structure's life cycle? This technical paper delineates and analyzes the application of design-phase information models in bridge inspection tasks. The author introduces two potential scenarios for the application of these models. In the first scenario, it is assumed that the design-stage model can automatically be used to generate the basis draft for the operation-stage information model within the Bridge Management System. The second scenario suggests using the geometry of the design-stage information model as the reference base in the tasks of identification of geometric discrepancies of constructed structures. The paper includes case studies illustrating these scenarios based on two recently completed bridges
