ANAS closed about 100 meters of the SS 145 Sorrentina in Sorrento on 19 June 2026 after trees in a private area were hanging over the roadway. The closure covered the stretch between km 36,100 and km 36,200 near via Nastro Azzurro and applied in both directions.
The order came on the indication of the Vigili del Fuoco. ANAS and the Forze dell’Ordine were on site to manage the interruption while traffic was diverted onto SP7 or onto the SS163 Amalfitana, depending on direction.
For drivers leaving Sorrento, the route ran along SP7 before rejoining the SS 145 Sorrentina at km 35,900 at the junction of Sant’Agata sui due Golfi. Traffic coming from Positano and from the SS163 Amalfitana toward Napoli and Sorrento used the SS163 in the direction of Piano di Sorrento.

The closure affected a short but busy part of the road network that links Sorrento with Sant’Agata sui due Golfi, Positano, Piano di Sorrento and Napoli. Because the restriction was both ways, drivers could not simply pass through the section and had to follow the posted detours until the stretch could reopen.
Reopening depends on prior verification of the slope and on any intervention on the trees by third parties. That means the road cannot return to normal traffic on ANAS’s schedule alone; the physical condition above the carriageway has to be checked and, if needed, addressed before the interdiction can be lifted.

For anyone traveling through Sorrento, the practical step is to follow the diversion signposted on the day of the closure rather than trying to reach the blocked 100-meter section. The detour route is the only documented alternative in the notice, and the split routing by direction is the part that matters most at the wheel.
The interruption turned a narrow safety problem above the road into a wider traffic change on a route used for movement between Sorrento and the coastal network. Until the slope is checked and the tree issue is handled, the closure remains the controlling fact for traffic in that stretch.
