Conservation efforts force Chapman’s Peak Drive closure as Table Mountain National Park tackles invasive plants

If you’re planning to drive, cycle, or run along the scenic Chapman’s Peak Drive, you’ll want to mark your calendar.

To support vital conservation efforts in Table Mountain National Park, Chapman’s Peak Drive will be closed every Wednesday from 10:00 to 16:00 on select dates in February and March.

Why the Closures Are Happening

The closures are part of an ongoing effort by SANParks Table Mountain National Park to remove invasive alien vegetation.

This work is essential to preserving the rich biodiversity of the Cape Floral Kingdom, one of the most ecologically significant regions in the world.

By clearing these invasive species, conservationists are helping native plants and animals thrive.

Motorists, cyclists, and runners should take note of the following dates when Chapman’s Peak Drive will be inaccessible:

February: 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th
March: 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th

Plan Ahead and Use Alternative Routes

To avoid inconvenience, travelers are encouraged to plan their journeys in advance and use alternate routes during these closures.

This temporary restriction is necessary to ensure the safety of both conservation teams and road us
