Taking Yugang Road Project as an example, the settlement rule of road foundation in the soft base embankment widening project is analyzed. The relevant engineering technological measures are proposed for the settlement control of the project according to the conclusion of the analysis. Combined with the inspection results of road foundation settlement during the project construction period and after the construction, the control factors of embankment widening project are verified. The results show that aiming at the soft base embankment widening project, the targeted design and construction can be carried out for the settlement control of old base embankment, widened embankment backfill area and original foundation of widened embankment, which can effectively reduce the uneven settlement caused by embankment widening of soft foundation.
