Vestavia Hills city staff is feverishly working to have a striping error fixed after repairs on U.S. 31.
The striping vendor painted “SOOTH” instead of “SOUTH” on the portion of the highway near the Interstate 65 on-ramp.
“Woke up to a striping error this morning!” the City posted on Facebook. “City staff has been in contact with JeffCo to coordinate repair by the striping vendor. This will be repaired as soon as possible!”
“Look for this photo on the next ‘You Had One Job’ reel,” the City added.
Facebook users quickly responded.
“Tell me you live in Alabama without telling me you live in alabama,” posted Kelli Jones.
Dustin Johnson commented, “Not only was it misspelled but my god did they not have a stencil? It even looks horrible as well.”
Others took a positive approach.
“Masterclass in addressing the mistake,” responded Derek Carson. “Well done. Thanks for the laugh.”
City officials told 1819 News the county would be responsible for the repair. They said a temporary fix would be in place by Friday.
