A soft rock stratum underground excavation large-section 
tunnel construction method comprises the following steps of conducting excavation on the upper portion of the center of an arc part to form an arc part small 
pilot tunnel, and arranging an arc crown vertical 
supporting system in the arc part small 
pilot tunnel; conducting excavation to form a left upper 
pilot tunnel, a left middle pilot tunnel, a right upper pilot tunnel, a left lower pilot tunnel and a right lower pilot tunnel in sequence, and reserving a core rock wall in each pilot tunnel; pouring inverted arc concrete on the left side and right side and inverted arc backfill; pouring the arc part of a tunnel and a side wall secondary lining; excavating the core rock walls; pouring inverted arc concrete and inverted arc backfill. A 
supporting system adopted in the construction method comprises the arc part small pilot tunnel, a manual hole digging 
pile, the arc crown vertical 
supporting system, a side wall preliminary bracing and a core rock wall bracing, wherein the arc crown vertical supporting 
system comprises a steel 
pipe support penetrating through the manual hole digging 
pile and the arc part small pilot tunnel, and an independent foundation is arranged on the bottom of the steel 
pipe support and located on the bottom of the manual hole digging 
pile. According to the soft rock stratum underground excavation large-section 
tunnel construction method and the supporting 
system, 
sedimentation of the arc part of the tunnel can be effectively controlled, excavation footage is large, construction progress is accelerated, arc part secondary lining can be realized early, and construction safety is guaranteed.
