The opportunity and challenges induced by the development of bridge building facing the special meteorological researches and service are probed. The necessity and the main content of the special meteorological research and service are discussed based on our researches and practice in the aspects of climate background and meteorological parameter researches around bridge construction sites, methods of bridge meteorological researches, and meteorological service and support during construction and operation. A meteorological environmental monitoring and warning system, which has been applied during the construction period of some bridges, was described.
