Work to resurface walking and cycle path at Fourteen Locks Canal Centre in Rogerstone has been completed, Newport council has said.
The path, which forms part of Route 47 of the National Cycle Network, has benefited from resurfacing from the canal centre to Pensarn cottage.
New barriers have also been installed along the entrances to the towpaths.
The work is part of Newport City Council’s strategy to look at improving existing active travel routes.
The cabinet member for culture and leisure, Cllr Deb Harvey, said: “It is fantastic to see how well received the upgrades at Fourteen Locks have been.
“We are committed as a council to promoting active travel within the city, and we will continue to upgrade existing routes alongside developing new ones to make active travel an accessible option across Newport.”
The manager at Fourteen Locks, Kate Wickens, said: “Feedback has been great so far.
"The width has allowed enough space for walkers and cyclists and looks professional, and the colour really fits in with the surroundings of the locks.”
