Get the extra Zs ready. The State Senate unanimously passed a bill Wednesday that would correct the spelling of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, and the Assembly is expected to approve the measure next. “It’s long overdue. In the greatest city in the greatest nation, this discoverer should have his name spelled correctly on the signs for the bridge that bears his name,” said Sen. Martin Golden, the bill’s sponsor. “This is something that is many, many years in the making.”

The architectural gem connecting Brooklyn and Staten Island is named after Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, who mapped the Atlantic coast and New York harbor. Signs for the longest suspension bridge in the nation are missing a second z. And it is not clear exactly how the error occurred.
