This review explores the effect of bitumen microstructure on the mechanical strength and cohesive properties of modified bitumen. It is shown that the morphology of structures plays a key role in ensuring high performance properties of bitumen road surfaces. Special attention is paid to the effect of polymer, surfactant, and nanomodifiers on the size, shape, and stability of microstructures in the bulk phase of the bitumen binder. The latest data on the mechanisms of bee-like structures formation, their morphology, the correlation of structure sizes with the cohesive strength of bitumen, as well as practical aspects of modifying bitumen compositions to achieve optimal strength characteristics are analyzed.
