The invention discloses a deepwater single-wall steel plate pile cofferdam structure with low buried depth. The structure comprises a plurality of bored piles, a steel plate pile cofferdam around the bored piles, bagged sand positioned outside the cofferdam and arranged on the surface of a river bed, and high-pressure rotary jet piles constructed in the cofferdam and outside the bored piles, wherein the plane size of the cofferdam is greater than that of a bearing platform to be constructed so as to reserve a construction space. By using the steel plate pile cofferdam, the deepwater low pile bearing platform and the underwater part of a pier of a bridge can be constructed with relatively low cost and minimum construction risk, and a double-wall steel cofferdam scheme with relatively high cost does not need to be adopted for construction, so that the turnover steel consumption of the cofferdam serving as a temporary project is saved, and the application range of the deepwater steel plate pile cofferdam construction technology is enlarged.
