Parts for one of the digital welcome signs on the road to Denver International Airport were stolen and the sign will remain dark until next week.
Airport officials said in a news release they learned the parts — needed for repairs on the easternmost digital sign along Peña Boulevard — were taken on Friday morning.
Officials did not indicate when the theft may have taken place, but the incident has been reported to the Denver Police Department.

The $11.5 million sign is expected to be back online next week, Mindy Crane, a spokeswoman for the airport said in an email statement.
The airport has three LED digital signs that are 48 feet wide and 16 feet tall — two facing inbound traffic and one facing those exiting the airport. They were installed in 2017.
Officials said the other two signs were not impacted by the incident.
