The actual steel motorbridge spans the Telle River, a tributary of the Orange River that flows across half of South Africa.

The anti-apartheid South African journalist and editor of the ''Daily Dispatch'', Donald Woods entered Lesotho through the Telle Bridge disguised as a priest, as he was fleeing from South Africa on New Year's Eve, 1977, which was depicted in the 1987 film ''Cry Freedom''.
