The invention discloses a rainwater recycling system for sponge city overpass and a construction method of the rainwater recycling system. The rainwater recycling system comprises a rainwater collection device, rainwater pretreatment equipment and a water storage well, the rainwater collection device comprises a rainwater pipe and a collector, a water collection pump is mounted on the collector, and the rear end of the rainwater pipe is connected onto the water collection pump while the front end of the same is connected onto a deck of the overpass; the lower end of the collector is connected with a first guide pipe, the other end of the first guide pipe is connected with the rainwater pretreatment equipment, a diverter is mounted at the lower end of the rainwater pretreatment equipment, a second guide pipe is connected on the diverter and connected to the water storage well, a submerged pump is mounted in the water storage well, and a recycling pipe is connected on the submerged pump. An existing overpass draining pipeline is introduced into the collector, and rainwater is purified with the help of the rainwater pretreatment equipment, guided into the water storage well and then recycled through the recycling pipe, so that reasonable utilization of rainwater resources is realized, city water consumption pressure is relieved, the draining problem of the overpass is solved effectively, and city traffic is guaranteed.
