The invention relates to a crevasse plugging system and plugging method. The crevasse plugging system comprises a hanging bridge used for being suspended above a crevasse; the hanging bridge is provided with a plurality of pile holes, and a stopping pile rod is arranged in each pile hole in a penetrating manner; the lower end of each stopping pile rod is used for being inserted into a riverbed ofthe crevasse; and the crevasse plugging system further comprises a water stopping piece abutting against the stopping pile rod in the flood flowing direction to stop flood. Due to the fact that the two ends of the hanging bridge are correspondingly fixed to the two sides of the crevasse, a channel for an operator to pass through is formed, and it is avoided that a person performs operation in theflood; each hanging plate, suspending above the crevasse, of the hanging bridge is provided with the stopping pile rod in a penetrating manner, and the stopping pile rods are used for being inserted into the riverbed; the water stopping piece is placed on the side, close to the inner side of the crevasse, of each stopping pile rod; each water stopping piece is limited due to stopping by the corresponding stopping pile rod, and a role of stopping the flood temporarily can be played; and at the moment, soil and stone, sand bags and other filler are thrown into the side, backing onto the riverbed, of the water stopping pieces, and washing away by the flood is not likely to be caused, the crevasse plugging time is shortened, and the work efficiency is improved.
