Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (FRC) has emerged as a promising material to enhance the mechanical properties and durability of bridge components. This review consolidates recent research from 2008 to 2024 on the performance of FRC in highway bridges under heavy traffic conditions, highlighting improvements, limitations, and future research needs.Highway bridges are critical infrastructure components subjected to heavy traffic loads and harsh environmental conditions, leading to deterioration and reduced service life. Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) has emerged as a promising material to enhance the performance of bridge structures. This paper reviews the applications of FRC in highway bridges, its performance under heavy traffic loads, and its advantages and limitations. The review focuses on the effect of different fiber types, fiber content, and concrete mix design on the mechanical properties, durability, and long-term performance of FRC in bridge applications.
