Ryan Longnecker / WDAY FARGO — Construction crews worked on the ground and up above Friday, June 4, as they tried to make progress on their projects in over 100-degree heat. "In the afternoon, a lot of (workers) are dragging," said Rick Blilie, a superintendent with Roers Construction. "They're just trying to make it through the day, because it gets hot." Blilie's crews have been working on several projects, including rebuilding St. Paul's Newman Center and building a new apartment complex, both of which are near North Dakota State University's campus.
