Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain reclamation in a wide range including the edge of a revetment and to reduce a construction cost while improving safety of construction. SOLUTION: This floating pier reclamation method comprises setting a floating pier 2 afloat perpendicularly to a revetment normal in a reclamation water area A surrounded by the revetment 1, connecting the revetment 1 and the floating pier 2 by a cross bridge pontoon 10, driving a vehicle onto the floating pier 2 from the revetment 1 via the cross bridge pontoon 10 to throw a reclamation material into the water, and moving the floating pier 2 parallel toward the revetment normal at every end of reclamation of one line along the floating pier 2 to repeat reclamation. Both boards of the cross bridge pontoon 10 are widened to provide widened sections 12, 12 allowing the vehicle to change its direction, and the reclamation material is thrown into the water also from the widened sections 12 to reclaim not only the circumference of the floating pier 2 but also a wide range including the circumference (the revetment edge) of the cross bridge pontoon 10.
