For the Record .Bv DAVID ESPO AND MIKE GLOVER - ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS DES MOINES, Iowa Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards closed out a long, grueling Iowa caucus campaign Wednesday night with statewide television appeals, each seeking an early tri-. umph in the race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. Leading Republicans exchanged routine unpleasantries on a final day of campaigning. "You just don't know what is going to happen," confessed Mitt Romney, unwilling to forecast success over Republican rival Mike Huckabee in Thursday's first contest of the race for the White House. "This country is ready for a leader who will bring us together," Obama said in a. two-minute commercial televised at' the dinner hour. A first-term Illinois senator seeking to become the nation's first black presi. dent, he added, "Tilat's the only way we're going to win this election. And that's how we'll actually fix health care, make college affordable, become energy independent and end this war." Clinton, seeking to become Amel<ica'S first female president, reached out with a campaign-closing commercial broadcast of her own. "If you stand with me for one night, I will stand up for you every day as your president," she said. ''I'll work my heart out to bring · the country we Jove the new Bara~k beginning it needs and I will That wasn't a surprise in strategy, an·d presumably be ready to start on Day Iowa, where 21 percent of give ·him a boost in .

The project has seen its share of delays with the latest completion date being fall of 2008 (the original was Summer 2006) and a revised cost estimate of $64.7 million, up from the $60 million reported in 2006, and nearly $20' million over the original estimate of $45 .8 million. At the time that $45.8 million was roughly three million under the engineer's estimate. A major equipment delay last year resulted in a nine-month draught of working on spanning the channel. The equipment, a form traveler, was resigned for . safety precautions. A form traveler· is a piece of equipment contractors use to help construct the span'across the river though it is not a structurally part of the bridge. · Expected to arrive in April, the form traveler didn't completely arrive until August, allowing workers to begin the process of assembly.
