Chapman's Peak Drive will remain closed until further notice following the devastating Cape Fires that are ravaging the Cape Peninsula.
Once the fires have been completely extinguised, an assessor will be sent in to check the drive for safety. Parts of the catchment fencing was in flames and with a large section of vegetation that has been burnt, there is a strong likelihood of rock instability.
Until the assessment has been completed, we are unable to give any indication of when the drive will be re-opened. We ARE aware of the Cape Town Cycle Tour which is scheduled for Sunday 8 March 2015 and we are in communication with the organisers. As mentioned previously, we are unable to give a time frame for re-opening the drive, until all safety precautions have been met.
Let's all hope for a speedy end to this blaze.
