The Sign has Been Wrong for 50 Years, Why Change it Now!

NEW YORK (AP) – People have gone on social media to note signs on the Staten Island Expressway pointing to Goethals Bridge have the “o” and “e” transposed. State transportation officials say the mistake will be fixed by the contractor that did the signs.

It isn’t the first time that’s happened in New York. For more than 50 years, the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge was spelled incorrectly, with just one “z.“ It took an act of the state legislature to get that fixed and those signs are just now being replaced.
