The Huon Valley's major tourist drawcard is set to reopen, with hopes it can attract even more visitors.

The Airwalk wasn't destroyed in the January 2019 fires but the intense heat damaged the structure and snapped a guy wire.

Suzette Weeding from Sustainable Timber Tasmania said it had been a"monumental effort" involving a specialist scaffolding team. "When you think the cantilever is nearly 50 metres off the ground, having people out there safely painting and inspecting that structure was quite a feat for those people." "Were turning a whole building into a laboratory for that and we're being supported by UTAS and CSIRO and Sustainable Timbers Tasmania," he said.
