Chapman's  Peak Drive has re-opened after the fires that ravaged Cape Town's southern peninsula in the first week of March 2015.  

The Drive is open with conditions.   Please read the Statement on the opening of Chapman's Peak Drive by Donald Grant, Minister of Transport and Public Works here.

A decision was taken on the 11 March 2015 to restrict access due to the volatile conditions for potential rock falls after the devastating fires.  NO cyclists, runners or pedestrians will be allowed between the Look-Out Point & the Noordhoek Gate due to to the risk of rock falls.

Flagmen will be stationed along points to control the users. "We appeal to all to adhere to these conditions for their own safety"
