Abstract: The study designed a risk assessment scheme to reduce the risk of highway bridge construction in highland mountainous areas, and optimised the existing hierarchical analysis method used for risk weight calculation, using entropy weight and fuzzy numbers for improvement, and designed an optimised fuzzy hierarchical entropy weight comprehensive risk assessment model. The results found that the maximum affiliation degree of site safety management risk is 0.39, which is a low-level risk; the maximum affiliation degree of personnel safety and operation quality category is 0.42, which is an intermediate risk; the maximum affiliation degree of machinery and equipment is 0.40, which is a high-level risk; the maximum affiliation degree of construction materials is 0.69, which is a low-level risk; and the maximum affiliation degree of environment category is 0.51, which is an intermediate risk. The maximum affiliation of the overall construction risk is 0.369, which indicates that the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation of the project is an intermediate risk. The results of the study show that the proposed construction risk assessment scheme for highway bridges in highland mountainous areas can provide certain reference for the construction of highland mountainous areas and avoid the corresponding safety risks.
