ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO (AP) – It made drivers on Route 66 and Interstate 40 in New Mexico do double takes.
A newly upgraded state Department of Transportation sign erected last week that pointed drivers toward Albuquerque misspelled the city’s name, losing the “R”.
People called and e-mailed the department to point out the mistake on the sign visible to drivers on the parallel highways, said a department spokesperson Kimberly Gallegos.
