State transportation officials are working to fix an embarrassing mistake.

A sign was being installed in Jacksonville when a worker noticed the spelling error.

Florida is misspelled, not once, but twice.

Officials said they blame the misspelling on the Arkansas-based company that manufactured the sign.

The company has agreed to fix the mistake.
