Chapman's Peak Drive: Temporary road closures for alien vegetation clearing in October & November 2019!

Cape Town's famous Chapman's Peak Drive will be closed to all traffic from 10:00 until 16:00 every Wednesday during October and November 2019 for alien vegetation clearing (02., 09.,16., 23., 30. October 2019 and 06.,13., 20., 27. November 2019 - weather permitting). This is essential to protect the delicate eco-systems and prevent the alien plants from stealing ground water or destroying the natural fynbos. Should one need to travel between Noordhoek and Hout Bay between those times, kindly use Ou Kaapse Weg as an alternative route. 

Chapman's Peak Drive will be closed between 10am and 4pm today for Alien Vegetation Clearing. Every Weds in Oct and Nov weather permitting. @TrafficSA pic.twitter.com/rDWXBN73mv
