Cape Town’s iconic Chapman’s Peak Drive will be closed to all traffic - both motorized and non-motorized, including pedestrians and runners - on Wednesdays throughout February and March 2025 (05.02., 12.02., 19.02., 26.02, 05.03., 12.03., 19.03. and 26.03.) from 10:00 to 16:00. The temporary closure is necessary for the removal of invasive alien vegetation, a vital effort to protect the region’s fragile ecosystems and preserve the indigenous fynbos by preventing invasive plants from depleting groundwater. The closure is weather-dependent.
Travellers needing to commute between Noordhoek and Hout Bay during these hours are advised to use Ou Kaapse Weg as an alternative route.
Chapman’s Peak Drive is a breathtaking 9 km coastal route that winds along the western flank of Chapman’s Peak, a mountain on the Cape Peninsula, approximately 15 km south of Cape Town.
