East Washington Street will close from US 27/Commerce Street to Regions Bank beginning at 3:15 p.m. Friday and will remain closed until 11 p.m. Regions Bank customers will still have access to the drive-thru from the East Washington/University Street side and the main lobby from the north end of Economy Street.
