*Result*: A Concise Review of State-of-the-Art Sensing Technologies for Bridge Structural Health Monitoring.

*Against the backdrop of increasing demands for the safety and longevity of the bridge infrastructure, this review synthesizes the recent advances in structural health monitoring (SHM) sensing systems. Carbon nanotube (CNT), piezoelectric, RFID, wireless, fiber optic, and computer-vision-based sensing are thoroughly explored and elucidated in the existing literature survey that distills their working principles, documented deployments, and anticipated research directions. CNT sensors detect minute resistance variations for strain and crack surveillance; piezoelectric devices transduce mechanical stimuli into high-resolution electrical signals; RFID tags combine location tracking with modular sensing and wireless data relay; and wireless sensing technology integrates sensor nodes with microprocessors and communication modules, which can facilitate efficient data processing and autonomous management. Fiber optic sensing technology, known for precision and interference resistance, is ideal for high-precision monitoring under strong electromagnetic interference conditions, and vision-based systems emulate human perception to extract geometric descriptors via image analytics. The comparative analysis reveals complementary strengths that guide practitioners in selecting optimal sensor suites for specific bridge conditions. The findings underscore the transformative role of these technologies in enhancing SHM reliability and suggest that synergistic integration with robotics and emerging materials will further advance future resilient monitoring frameworks.
