The Triborough Bridge in New York City was renamed Wednesday after former attorney general and former Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.Y.).
Kennedy would have turned 83 Thursday. He was shot and killed in 1968 while running for the Democratic nomination for president.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said during a ceremony that naming the bridge after his father was appropriate because the former senator “was about bridging all the differences.”
The bridge connects three of the city’s boroughs — Queens, Manhattan and the Bronx.
