During October and November as part of the conservation efforts by SANparks the Specialized Alien Vegetation clearing team from SANParks will be above the drive on the slopes clearing and chopping and there will be encounters of falling debris, making passage dangerous for all users, motorised and non-motorised traffic including pedestrians and runners. Thus the drive will be closed to all commuters between 10h00 and 16h00 on Wednesdays from 12 October 2022 to 30 November 2022, weather permitting.

Should you need to travel during the closure times, please use Ou Kaapse Weg as the alternative route. Conserving our natural heritage by removing alien vegetation is very important and we thank you for your cooperation and patience during these times.

All users of Chapman's Peak Drive are encouraged to drive responsibly and share the road with cyclists and pedestrians. Enjoy the fresh air and open spaces responsibly and please ensure no litter or graffiti is left behind.
