The invention relates to the technical field of tunnel construction, and discloses a tunnel construction method adopting a prefabricated inverted arch module. According to the tunnel construction method, a connecting steel frame is supported between a preliminary brace and the prefabricated inverted arch module more firmly, finally, a fastening bolt between the connecting steel frame and an embedding sleeve is fastened again, the connecting steel frame and the embedding sleeve are welded, a fastening bolt between a connecting steel plate and a supporting steel plate is fastened again, the connecting steel plate and the supporting steel plate are welded, accordingly, it is ensured that the prefabricated inverted arch module and the preliminary brace are stably connected, the phenomenon thatdue to the fact that the connecting steel frame is not tightly mounted, and the preliminary brace deforms towards the inner side due to the surrounding rock pressure is avoided; and inverted arch filling in traditional tunnel construction is replaced with the prefabricated inverted arch module, accordingly, it is ensured that a support around the tunnel can rapidly form a closed loop, deformationsettlement of an excavated segment of the tunnel can be avoided, and the stability and the construction proceed of the tunnel structure can be improved.
