Chapman’s Peak is to re-open especially for the Argus Cycle Tour on 8 March, the Cape Argus reports. Race participants will have to sign a special indemnity, and agree to use the road at their own risk. The opening of the road is subject to the safety of the 30 000 cyclists participating in the race.
The MEC for Finance, Economic Development and Tourism Garth Strachan met Cycle Tour representative Ken Sturgeon, and agreed to re-open the scenic road between Hout Bay and Noordhoek, which has been closed for the past few months since heavy winter rains caused heavy rockfalls.
The province has also agreed to investigate the reason for the continued delays in re-opening Chapman’s Peak, a popular tourism route, and important link to the city for Noordhoek residents.
