NEW YORK: New York City's Triborough Bridge will officially be renamed the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge in a dedication ceremony Wednesday.

The New York senator was assassinated in 1968 while campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Speakers at the morning ceremony are expected to include former President Bill Clinton, Governor David Paterson and Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Kennedy's widow, Ethel, is also expected to attend.

The bridge will be the first major public work dedicated to Robert Kennedy in the state he represented from 1965-1968 in the U.S. Senate.

The ceremony is being held a day before what would have been Robert Kennedy's 83rd birthday.
