Abstract –  Bridges are essential components of modern infrastructure, facilitating the movement of people and goods while connecting communities. As society grapples with the challenges of aging infrastructure and the increasing demands on transportation systems, the concept of a "smart bridge" emerges as a promising solution. Smart bridges leverage cutting-edge technologies and innovative design principles to enhance their performance, safety, and longevity. Smart bridges equipped with an autonomous water-level responsive elevation system represent an innovative and adaptive approach to infrastructure design. These bridges are engineered to detect rising water levels and automatically adjust their height to mitigate the risks of flooding and ensure the uninterrupted flow of transportation. This abstract explores the concept of a smart bridge with a water-level responsive elevation system, emphasizing its potential to enhance resilience and safety in the face of changing weather patterns and climate-related challenges. Smart bridges are integrated with a network of sensors, including water level sensors, weather stations, and real-time data analytics, all managed by a central control system. When water levels begin to rise due to heavy rainfall or other factors, the water level sensors on the bridge transmit data to the central control system. Advanced algorithms then determine the extent of elevation required to prevent flooding and maintain safe passage for vehicles. ESP32-based sensors and actuators are strategically placed throughout the bridge structure, constantly collecting data on key parameters such as structural integrity, environmental conditions, and water level. This real-time data is transmitted to a central control unit, where ESP32 microcontrollers process and analyze the information. These microcontrollers execute tasks ranging from structural health monitoring to dynamic water level.
