Keeper! The Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge will be called "The Zakim Bridge" but it honors both Lenny Zakim, a Boston Civil Rights figure, and the Battle Bunker Hill (the Bunker Hill monument is reflected in the point at the top). It is the widest cable-stayed bridge in the world. | 10/8/2002 | |
