Road Closure Notice

Several road closures are in effect on Charleston’s East End due to a structure’s falling façade. An old restaurant, located on the corner of Washington and Elizabeth Streets, is structurally unsound and will be torn down immediately after bricks fell from the façade onto the sidewalk overnight. An engineer will further assess the building this afternoon.   

Currently, Washington Street East is closed between Maxwell Street and Sydney Street and Elizabeth Street is closed between Lee Street and Jackson Street.

The closure is expected to last at least a week at this time.
