        abstract = {Floods pose a significant threat to infrastructure, particularly in developing nations where early warning systems and responsive mechanisms are limited. Bridges, critical for transport and connectivity, are especially vulnerable during such events, often leading to life-threatening scenarios and economic disruptions. To address this, we present a Smart Bridge system designed to autonomously detect and respond to rising water levels. The system integrates an Arduino Uno microcontroller, a water level sensor, and a hydraulic mechanism driven by a DC motor through an L298N motor controller. When flood conditions are detected, the system activates a buzzer for alert and elevates the bridge using a hydraulic lift based on Pascal's Law. Once water levels normalize, the bridge returns to its original position, ensuring uninterrupted and safe passage. This solution exemplifies a scalable, low-cost, and automated flood response system that enhances infrastructure resilience and public safety, especially in regions prone to natural disasters},
