Gorey Pierhead is open again after work to remove the former landing stage upper deck was completed.
Work began earlier this year to remove the concrete deck and supporting pillars, with temporary bracing installed.
It was originally due to be completed for summer 2026, so business could return, but in July it was announced that the reopening would be delayed.
TukTuk Thai - the al fresco restaurant - didn't operate there over summer, but relocated to St Helier whilst works were underway.
The works mark the first phase of a wider programme designed to protect Gorey Pier's long-term structural integrity and preserve its historic character for future generations.
Captain William Sadler, Jersey Harbour Master, said:
"The completion of the work marks an important milestone in our ongoing commitment to protecting and preserving Gorey Pier, it was essential for safety but also safeguards the historic granite pier for the community to enjoy for years to come."
The walkway has been resurfaced, and new railings have been installed to improve the appearance and make it easier to access the pier.
Ports of Jersey said:
"The reopening of the pierhead provides a safer and more welcoming environment for everyone using Gorey Harbour, while ensuring this much-loved landmark remains protected as future improvement plans progress."
