Mohale FM The Lesotho Highlands Development Authority (LHDA) is set to officially open the Senqu Bridge during a ceremony scheduled for April 22 in Mokhotlong.
This was revealed in an invitation letter read before Members of Parliament today by the Speaker of the National Assembly, Mr. Tlohang Sekhamane.
According to the letter, the ceremony will be officiated by King Letsie III, accompanied by The President of South Africa His Excellency Cyril Ramaphosa, highlighting the strong partnership between Lesotho and South Africa under the Lesotho Highlands Water Project.
The letter further notes that LHDA will formally hand over the bridge to the Government of Lesotho as part of the day’s proceedings.
Completed in early 2026, the Senqu Bridge marks a significant milestone in Phase II of the LHWP, signalling substantial progress in the project’s advanced infrastructure works. The structure is described as a remarkable engineering achievement, constructed within the challenging high-altitude terrain of the Lesotho Highlands.
The ceremony represents an important national milestone, celebrating infrastructure development, regional cooperation and the transformative socio-economic benefits of the LHWP.
