Descendants of Exuperius Pickering and Henry Robertson, the men who built and rebuilt the bridge in the 1800s, will be at the opening
A north Wales chain bridge which closed in the 1980s reopens on Thursday.
Llangollen chain bridge in Denbighshire was built in 1817 by coal merchant Exuperius Pickering for a cheap transport route across the River Dee.
Llangollen town and Llantysilio community councils were behind the restoration project after buying it for £1 when it fell into disrepair after years of neglect.
Chain bridge heritage officer Samantha Jones said it was "a labour of love".
