A new footbridge linking Telford town centre with Telford Central railway station will open to the public on Friday.
The new bridge has lifts and needed a giant crane to move the main section into position.
Some work still needs to be done to install lighting, finish footpaths and landscape the surrounding area.
The original bridge will have to be demolished, so an official opening will take place in spring.
