Bridge Renamed for Robert F Kennedy

"I think that the timing is extraordinary. It's his vision for America as a unified nation where we overcome partisan differences and work together on the issues facing Americans that resonates for me. It is already clear that that is going to be the priority of this administration," Kennedy feels.

Speaking at the renaming ceremony Bloomberg told the crowd, "New York wouldn't be the city it is today without the Triborough, and the United States wouldn't be the country it is today without Robert F. Kennedy. It's only fitting the naming of a bridge fit the grandeur of its scale."

Former President Bill Clinton told the assembled crowd that the best memorial for Kennedy would be to pause to think of the man's legacy every time one crossed the bridge.
