"It's our feeling that it's more important than ever to keep our state's roads and bridges open and operating," sait Tony Illia with NDOT, "in order to keep a steady delivery of supply and other critical materials, including food and medicine."
Illia says crews are following CDC guidelines by staying six feet away from each other and only working in groups of 10 people or less.
