The invention discloses an elevated-road rainwater recovery system and a construction method thereof. The elevated-road rainwater recovery system comprises short drainage pipes, drainage pipes, suspension pipes, stand pipes and rainwater recovery boxes; the short drainage pipes are located in retaining walls which are vertically connected on two top sides of an elevated bridge, top ends of the drainage pipes are fixedly connected with the short drainage pipes through pipe joint parts, the two neighboring suspension pipes are connected through a horizontal pipe, the rainwater recovery boxes are connected with rotary nozzles through water pipes which are connected to bottoms of the rainwater recover boxes, and a water suction pump is arranged on each water pipe. The construction method includes: arrangement of the short drainage pipes, construction of pipe connection, construction of rainwater recovery boxes, construction of rotary nozzles and trial operation of the rainwater recovery system. Rainwater accumulation on the elevated road is reduced, occurrence of rear-end collision due to slipping of wheels of vehicles is decreased, construction can be performed directly on existing elevated roads, rainwater on the elevated road can be effectively recycled, water resources are saved, and meanwhile, security of the elevated road is improved.
