The invention relates to a separate double-deck cable-stayed bridge, which is characterized by comprising an upper layer of main girders, a lower layer of main girders, a main tower simultaneously connected to the upper layer and the lower layer of main girders and a main tower foundation under the main tower, wherein the upper layer of main girders is provided with an upper layer of the bridge surface, the lower layer of main girders is provided with a lower layer of the bridge surface, the upper layer or the lower layer of main girders are respectively provided with stay cables to connect to the main tower. The upper layer and the lower layer of main girders respectively adopt steel box girders, concrete box girders or composite girders according to needs, which reduces steel usage quantity, obtains good sight line of the lower layer of the bridge surface, avoids the steel girder bars disturbance on the driving sight line, and facilitates the operation management and maintenance. The invention provides a double-deck bridge design which is totally different from the steel girder stiffening system, has high application value in aspects of utility, economy, bridge appearance, driving comfort and the like, and has potential application for future projects of the same kind.
