  ABSTRACT: The AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry is gradually shifting away from 2D CAD drawings and toward Building Information Modeling as a result of the fast development of science and technology (BIM). The BIM idea’s introduction emphasizes the need to specify a building in a single building model with adequate information to suit its different needs rather than defining it in fragmented documents. This research work aims to use the BIM 4D for the simulation of the construction sequence of a Swivel Bridge. For that, the software Revit was used to make the 3D model of the bridge, and the software Navisworks was used for the 4D construction simulation of the project. The results demonstrated that BIM technology could help reduce delays and problems with the schedule and improve communication among stakeholders, and BIM visualization and simulation features were very useful compared to traditional planning methods.
