Ford Island sign goof backs up traffic

Someone forgot to remove the "bridge closed" signs on either side of the Ford Island bridge today, which temporarily startled and confused morning commuters.

Traffic was backed up as drivers tried to figure out what was going on. The Navy removed the signs after media calls, Tauyan said.
