The final phase to fix a stretch of retaining wall began at the start of this month.
The damaged wall was uncovered in December 2022 and led to a 14-month closure of Bridgnorth Cliff Railway.
Bridgnorth Town Council, who were liable for repairs, initially thought just 7.5 metres of retaining wall would need to be fixed, but in total ended up having to fix more than 65 metres of the ancient wall.
While the Cliff Railway reopened last year, one section of the retaining wall farther away from the funicular train, was awaiting repair.
