Two weeks ago White County Commissioners approved a motion to add guardrails, but there is no exact timetable for when the construction will begin. 'We've talked to our engineers and they recommended that we do a permanent fix and not something temporary,' said White County Manager Mike Melton. He is confident that construction will start in the next week or two, but  Hamilton says it isn't quick enough. 'I think to not have something in place immediately by the end of the day, or a week ago, two weeks ago, or the day after this happened, I think that's disgusting. I think that's disrespectful and I think that's reckless disregard,' Hamilton said. The district attorney has stated that he will keep in mind what Hamilton has had to endure when it comes time for sentencing.
