WILMINGTON - -Drivers got a bit of a surprise Monday morning on one of Wilmington's busiest streets: a caution alert about dinosaurs.

An electronic traffic sign on the corner of Independence and Randall parkway displayed "Caution: Raptors Ahead" instead of "Road Work Ahead." Mainland Construction workers said someone hacked into the computer and changed the sign.

Drivers said it was a bit of a shock to see the sign on their way to work, but it gave them a laugh.

The sign is now correct. Workers said construction will be taking place for the rest of the year. The team is working on widening the roads.
