It is an outstanding solution for protecting the environment using manufactured sand instead of natural river sand in concrete. In this paper, tunnel granite muck was processed into low carbon, coarse and fine aggregates, and low carbon aggregates were used to prepare bridge concrete. Meanwhile, the mechanical properties, anti-permeability, and frost resistance of concrete were investigated. The results demonstrated that the concrete prepared using low carbon aggregate had higher mechanical properties than concrete prepared using river sand. The chloride ion penetration resistance of concrete using low carbon aggregate is better than that of concrete using river sand, and frost resistance has been improved.
