STAAD Pro by Bentley has a pretty comprehensive set of engineering software.
 
I've used CANBAS (formerly OMBAS) published by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario. It supports the CHBDC, S6-00. See It's expensive and can have a long learning curve if you try to diverge from the standard bridge models supported by the GUI. It's not very polished though with practice the standard models can be analysed very quickly.

You can also look at Safi ( and VisualDesign ( I don't have any experience with them but they do support the CHBDC.
