The design status of beam arch composite bridge is summarized. Taking a 48 m + 5×72 m + 48 m skew continual beam arch composite bridge as an example, the basic situation and overall design idea of the project are briefly introduced. The structure of this bridge is calculated and analyzed. The design difficulties, the innovation points and the relevant countermeasures of the bridge are expounded including the determination of landscape scheme for beam arch composite bridge, the treatment of ultra-wide deck of urban steel bridge and the treatment of skew steel beam segments in order to provide the reference for the design of the similar beam arch composite bridges.
