A road sign pointing to Banbridge, County Down, is to be replaced after drivers noticed the spelling of the town was incorrect.

The sign at Millennium Way approaching a roundabout reads "get in lane".

But the word Banbridge is spelt 'Banbrdige'.

It is understood the error occurred at the manufacturing stage and is being corrected at no cost to the department for infrastructure.
