This paper describes the first results of an R&D project Intelligent Bridge carried out in Finland. The aim of the project is to develop new methods for 3-D design of concrete bridges and further connect and bring the design models to the source information of site measurements. A new design concept for 3-D concrete bridge design was developed and preliminarily tested in a pilot design office. The site tests of the first implementations of real time CAD/CAM measurements using a 3-D robot tachometer, as well as a 3-D laser scanning technique, are presented and evaluated.
