Lesotho Highlands Development Authority (LHDA) has listed an advance notice for Phase II feeder roads and bridges procurement opportunities, dated 8 October 2026. The listing signals forthcoming procurement activity; it does not establish that construction is starting, bids are open or contracts have been awarded. The notice document is restricted to registered users, and the public listing does not show its packages or timetable.

What LHDA has announced

LHDA’s public tender bulletin records an “Advance Notice to Industry: FEEDER ROADS & BRIDGES Procurement Opportunities” on 8 October 2026. The advance notice record displays the title and date, but access to the downloadable notice is restricted to registered users.

Based on the accessible listing, firms can confirm that LHDA has flagged procurement opportunities, but cannot establish the scope, package values, eligibility criteria, submission deadlines or construction schedule. The listing alone is not an invitation to tender or evidence of an awarded construction contract.

Why the feeder roads and bridges are planned

The programme responds to access losses expected as Polihali Reservoir fills. LHDA’s 2021 public participation notice said existing roads and tracks would be submerged, potentially disrupting journeys to shops, schools, community services and agricultural activities.

The accompanying background information document describes objectives including restoring access to schools, markets and medical clinics; connecting existing and resettled villages to the national road network; and supporting development and tourism in the project area. LHDA named the Senqu, Mabunyaneng, Khubelu, Sehonghong, Moremoholo and Mokhotlong river valleys in its planning notice. That list identifies the planning geography, not a confirmed route list or a guarantee that every valley or settlement will receive a particular road or bridge.

The works form part of Phase II of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project, which includes Polihali Dam, a water-transfer tunnel and associated infrastructure. LHDA describes roads and bridges as advance infrastructure and identifies community liaison, resettlement and livelihood restoration among its social programmes. Improved access to health services is a potential benefit cited by LHDA, not a measured outcome of completed feeder-road construction. See the LHDA Phase II project page.

What is known about route selection and community input

LHDA’s 2021 planning materials describe stakeholder participation and environmental and social studies as part of developing the master plan. The authority said viable options would be prioritised using findings from the environmental and social impact assessment studies and lessons from Phase I about community mobility around a reservoir.

In its 2021 consultancy announcement, Phase II Divisional Manager Ntsoli Maiketso said: “Viable options will be prioritised based on the findings of the environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) studies to be completed as part of the feeder roads master plan development process, as will the lessons learned from Phase I regarding the mobility of communities around the reservoir.” This was a statement about the planning process at that time; it does not identify the routes or works in the 2026 notice.
