Syracuse Airport Road Sign Misspells Upstate NY City’s Name

CICERO, N.Y. (AP) — Someone in the state Department of Transportation needs help spelling Syracuse.

A road sign near the Syracuse airport has the city's name misspelled as S-R-Y-A-C-U-S-E. The "Sryacuse Airport" sign directing motorists to the airport is located along the on-ramp to Interstate 481's southbound lanes in the town of Cicero, just north of Syracuse.

The Post-Standard of Syracuse (http://bit.ly/2abQnJ7 ) reports that it's unknown when the sign was erected.

Syracuse Hancock International Airport officials say they were unaware of any new signs going up.

A DOT spokesman said he was unaware of the misspelled sign but would look into it.
