An exit sign on a Delaware highway was replaced Friday after drivers pointed out a misspelling of the state's name as "Delware."

Social media users also posted about the error this week, which occurred on a northbound highway in Wilmington, Delaware. The misspelling on the sign was discovered after it had been installed, Donnie Arant, an area manager with Kiewit Infrastructure Company and a contractor with the state's Department of Transportation, told the Associated Press.

"You may have noticed this sign on your commute recently and ... you all passed the test!" Delaware's Department of Transportation said on Facebook Tuesday. "We were making sure commuters were *aware* of our signage. Now stop texting and taking photos while driving, and pay attention to the road!"

The incident occurred after a subcontractor had to make a temporary sign quickly upon realizing that the permanent sign would not arrive before the exit, which had previously been closed for construction, reopened. However, the permanent sign arrived this week and is now on display.

The erroneous sign was not the first time the name of a state had been misspelled. A Florida exit sign misspelled the state's name as "Flordia" twice in 2013, according to the Daily Mail. The misspelling was on the same sign but in two separate places and for two separate colleges. Another mistake happened in Illinois when an orange detour sign called the state "Illions" in 2016 as it pointed toward the Illinois Masonic Medical Center, according to the Chicago Tribune.
