The 125-year-old Calhoun Street Bridge linking Trenton, N.J., and Morrisville, Pa., reopened to traffic two weeks ago.
Final construction work on the wrought-iron span ends this week, and officials will gather Tuesday for a ceremony to mark the occasion.
The bridge is used heavily by Pennsylvania residents who commute to jobs in Trenton. Last year, it carried more than 18,000 vehicles a day.
The Lincoln Highway, completed in 1915, was America's first transcontinental highway, running from New York City to San Francisco.
