Cape Town: Chapman’s Peak Drive closed on Wednesdays in February 2025 for vegetation clearing!

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 2025 (05.02., 12.02., 19.02., and 26.02.), 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.
