It's the first phase of the £4 million refurbishment of the Victorian market hall that will see a complete redesign of the market's internal layout to improve accessibility.
The council has also planned a series of projects to repair and improve the building's historic fabric. There will also be an improved, covered outdoor space for events, an enhanced food court and expanded toilet facilities.
Telford & Wrekin Council says the work, which began last September, aims to "retain and improve the market as a retail, food and leisure hub, providing high-quality spaces for existing traders and new, small independent businesses".
Over the coming days, some traders will begin the move into their new stalls. Refurbishment works at the market are expected to be completed in Autumn this year.
