Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) is rapidly gaining attention as a high-performance composite material with promising applications in sustainable construction. Composed of a cementitious matrix reinforced with alkali-resistant glass Fibers, GFRC significantly improves mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural capacity, and impact resistance effectively overcoming many of the limitations of traditional concrete. This paper highlights the diverse applications of GFRC in transportation-related structures, including bridges, pavements, tunnel linings, and sound barriers. Its enhanced durability under dynamic and harsh environmental conditions such as freeze-thaw cycles, chloride penetration, and chemical exposure makes it a reliable solution for long-term infrastructure needs. Furthermore, GFRC's lightweight characteristics contribute to reduced structural loads, simplify handling and installation, and ultimately shorten construction timelines while lowering overall costs. From a sustainability standpoint, GFRC aligns with green infrastructure objectives by enabling longer service life and decreasing maintenance requirements. Its compatibility with recycled materials further supports eco-friendly construction practices. These attributes make GFRC an ideal material for creating resilient and sustainable transportation systems capable of withstanding evolving environmental and operational demands. The study emphasizes the need for broader implementation of GFRC in sustainable construction, supported by the development of updated engineering standards and innovative design methodologies. With its unique combination of strength, durability, lightweight nature, and sustainability, GFRC represents a forward-looking solution for the construction and modernization of transportation networks. As the demand for resilient and environmentally conscious infrastructure grows, GFRC is poised to play a critical role in shaping the future of transportation development. Conclusions On adding GFRC in percentage (0.5, 1, 2, 3)%, by weight of cement the results are below (7&28 days Strength) Compressive Strength Increases with the increase in GFRC in percentage (0.5-3)% and higher at 1%. Split tensile Strength Increases with the increase in GFRC in percentage (0.5-3)% and higher at 1%. Flexural Strength Increases with the increase in GFRC in percentage (0.5-3)% and higher at 1%. Workability decreases as increase in the glass fiber contents (0.5-3)%
