Linking footpaths and bridleways have been improved, while two car parks have been built, signs erected and a new guidebook published.
Drovers used it to shepherd sheep, cattle and geese to markets in England.
Linking the Powys village of Kerry, near Newtown, and the Shropshire town of Bishops Castle, the ridgeway is a regional trail and open to walkers, horse riders and cyclists.
Last used regularly by drovers some 150 years ago, the ancient highway forges a track through airy heather moors, cool woodlands and breezy bilberry-rich heaths.
