The public outcry was not ignored: Belmopan Police along with private contractors and the Ministry of Works have teamed up to upgrade the safety features, and renovate the deadly St. Margret's bridge.
Works have already started to make both approaches to the mile 31 Hummingbird Highway bridge safer for drivers.
Belmopan police say that reflective stickers will be placed on the bridge and the Ministry of Works will install guard rails at the approach of the bridge.
CISCO construction says that they installed reflective stickers and other safety features in and around the bridge before, but vandals would remove the stickers and dump safety drums into the river.
Hopefully that won't be the case this time. The present round of works is expected to conclude by weekend.
The emergency remedial measures come after 4 men died in two weekend accidents at that bridge.
