The invention relates to the field of tunnel support, in particular to a construction method suitable for a soft rock bedding tunnel, which comprises the following steps: S1, excavating reverse-tilting upper step core soil, and constructing a first support system; S2, excavating core soil of the lower step of the reverse side, and constructing a second supporting system; S3, excavating upper stepcore soil along the inclined side, and constructing a third support system; S4, excavating core soil of the lower step along the inclined side, and constructing a fourth support system; and S5, disassembling the temporary support, and constructing a secondary lining. According to the construction method, reasonable excavation steps and supporting structures are adopted in a targeted mode accordingto the bias deformation characteristic of the bedding tunnel and the surrounding rock stability difference, deformation during tunnel construction can be effectively controlled, surrounding rock self-bearing is given to full play, the surrounding rock stability is improved, and therefore the construction risk and the engineering cost are reduced.
