        abstract = {Box girder bridges have become a pivotal element in modern bridge engineering, valued for their structural efficiency, durability, and adaptability to diverse design requirements. This research provides a comprehensive review of box girder bridges, exploring their design principles, material advancements, construction innovations, and sustainability aspects. Key findings highlight the superior load distribution and torsional resistance offered by box girders, making them ideal for long-span and curved alignments. The integration of advanced materials such as high-strength concrete and composites, combined with modular construction techniques, has enhanced their performance and reduced environmental impact. The study also addresses challenges such as durability in aggressive environments and high initial costs, emphasizing the need for ongoing innovation in materials and predictive maintenance technologies. By synthesizing recent advancements and identifying future research directions, this study underscores the critical role of box girder bridges in developing sustainable, resilient, and efficient transportation infrastructure. This work aims to provide valuable insights for engineers, policymakers, and researchers, fostering the continued evolution of this vital structural form.},
