The SS163 Amalfitana remains closed at Tordigliano because water, mud and debris from hillside runoff have made the road unusable, according to Positano News. The report says the road will not reopen on 15 November 2026.
The affected section lies between Positano and Piano di Sorrento, in the Tordigliano area of Vico Equense. Positano News says concrete New Jersey barriers were expected to be placed shortly to protect the carriageway, but does not confirm that they have already been installed.
Positano News links the increased erosion risk to the loss of vegetation after fires. That connection is presented as local press commentary and is not independently corroborated.
The closure affects an important connection between the Sorrento Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast, according to Il Vescovado. The outlet has previously reported that a Tordigliano closure disrupted links between Piano di Sorrento and Positano.
Tordigliano has been completely closed before after rockfall, with barriers used to block access for vehicles and pedestrians. Earlier reopening decisions followed technical safety checks involving Anas and local authorities.
