"The bridge renaming will honor [Russell's] dedication to civil rights and the fostering of Boston's youth and young athletes," Boston Mayor Michelle Wu's office announced on Friday.
"Russell created an unrivaled legacy in the North End, leading the Celtics to 11 NBA Championships during his 13-season career."
"This is not the first honor bestowed upon Russell's legacy, as Boston has a statue dedicated to him in the City Hall Plaza and the NBA Finals NBA is presented in his honor."
