SANParks has a duty to control, manage and maintain above and below the drive in its natural state. In this regard SANParks needs to continue with the clearing of alien vegetation on the area above Chapman’s Peak Drive. Not only is this clearing a statutory requirement, but it will lead to the reduction in fire risk and erosion in the area as the high fire risk growth is halted and the return of lower risk natural vegetation is facilitated.

A specialised alien clearing team will be accessing the slopes above CPD using ropes, to cut and treat alien invasive plants infesting the area. In the interests of safety of the road users, SANParks, the Western Cape Province and Entilini have been engaged in planning a managed programme of road closures in respect of frequency and duration, with the aim to reduce the periods of closure as much as possible. A project plan has been complied to extend over 12 years.

The 2nd phase of clearing will commence during April 2014 with intermittent stop and go, and one day full road closure planned for 12 weeks.

Full road closure will be every Wednesday commencing on the 16/04/14 between 10h00 – 15h00.

We endeavour to try and keep you updated on the latest news regarding Chapman’s Peak Drive and the surrounding area. If you have news to share please contact us.

In 1999, two serious accidents took place and severe wildfires took place. Chapman's Peak Drive was declared unsafe by the High Court and the wildfires made the drive impassable. It was closed in January 2000 and only reopened three years later. 

It was clear that the cost of maintaining and operating the iconic and much loved #Chappies safely, could not be carried by the South African Tax Payer, most of whom would not ever use the road. Although unpopular, a decision was made that a toll road was the most sustainable solution and the maintenance should be given to the road users and not the tax payers. A concessionaire was identified via a competitive bidding process which would, in turn, produce a public-private-partnership to manage Chapman’s Peak Drive for 30 years. 

The reconstructed drive was a milestone in engineering, but also in terms of co-operation between the public and private sectors, between established business and empowerment partners, the lenders and concessionaire and the project itself with the local community.  It was the first subsidised toll road in South Africa (Provincial government of the Western Cape put up a significant portion of the capital cost) and was the first toll road deal concluded under the Public Finance Management Act. 

The concessionaire was able to obtain a loan to secure the pass, using a combination of safety features, including catch-fences, netting, barring down, a half-tunnel at the most dangerous point, and a comprehensive monitoring system involving CCTV, tremor and weather detection systems.

Entilini Concession obtained the contract and responsbilities were split into Design and Construction (Chapman's Peak Construction Joint Venture - CPCJV) , and Entilini Operations for operation and maintenance. The Chapman's Peak Engineering Group consisted of The Chapman's Peak Engineering Group consisted of Vela VKE Consulting engineers, Melis & Du Plessis Geotecnical Engineers, Stewart Scott International, Zietsman Lloyd Hemsted and assisted bt, Megan Anderson Landscape Architect (environmentalist), OvP & Associated (landscape architect), Dr Ross Party-Davies (geotechnical specialist), Prof Rolf Kratz (structural design specialist). Independent engineer: Jeffares & Green Consulting Engineers, assisted by Intertoll. Independent environmentalists: The Environment Partnership. The Shareholders of Entilini Operations consisted of Concor Facility Management, Marib Investment Holdings, Haw & Inglis

In 2009, a new administration took over and elements of the initial contract were amended, and signed in March 2011, with a working agreement between the Province and the concessionaire.

Currently Marib Holdings (Pty) Ltd and Haw & Inglis (Pty) Ltd have equal 50% shareholding in both Entilini Concession (Pty) Ltd and Entilini Operations (Pty) Ltd
