This invention relates to the field of bridge construction technology, and discloses a
support system and construction method for a mainline bridge cap beam. The
system includes: a cap beam formwork support, which provides a supporting foundation for the mainline bridge cap beam formwork; the cap beam formwork support includes: a first cap beam formwork support and a second cap beam formwork support; multiple bracket structures connected to the existing mainline bridge piers; both ends of the bracket structures extend outward beyond the mainline bridge piers, forming
cantilever ends; the first cap beam formwork support is erected on the
cantilever ends of the bracket structures, with its top providing support for the mainline bridge cap beam formwork; the second cap beam formwork support is erected above the existing auxiliary road
bridge deck, with its top providing support for the mainline bridge cap beam formwork; the first and second cap beam formwork supports are connected to form an integrated
support system. Because the cap beam formwork support does not occupy the river channel area under the bridge, it ensures that the river's
flood control and navigation functions are not affected; and it effectively shortens the construction period.
