Los Angeles freeway sign that misspelled Olympic Boulevard as 'Olimpic' stirs social media
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}No one noticed the mistake until the morning after the sign was installed above Interstate 710 in Southern California.
A subcontractor had misspelled Olympic Boulevard with an "I'' in place of the "Y."
The large green exit sign was covered with a tarp and eventually removed but not before drivers snapped and tweeted photographs of the mega-typo earlier this month.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Caltrans spokeswoman Kelly Markham tells the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/1vb4P8T ) that the subcontractor will pay for a new sign.
The sign was one of many improvements underway on the freeway as part of a pavement rehabilitation project.
