Using the finite element method, influences of vehicle load, subgrade fillings and compactness on the subgrade work zone were analyzed, of which the traffic load impacts most. Considering the traffic and mechanical character of the subgrade, it is determined that the appropriate subgrade work zone depth of rural highway is 1.0m. As a result, applying proper work zone depth plays an important role in the construction cost of rural highway.
