“It is altogether fitting that Pittsburgh native, Western Pennsylvania’s best ambassador and America’s favorite historian should have a bridge named for him,” said Andy Masich, president and CEO of the Heinz History Center. McCullough will be joined Sunday - his 80 th birthday - by family members, friends, fans and local officials for the unveiling of the plaque formally renaming the bridge. The 90-year-old Sixteenth Street Bridge, which links the Strip District and the North Side, will be rededicated Sunday as the David McCullough Bridge in honor of the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian. The man who wrote probably the definitive book on the building of the Brooklyn Bridge will have a bridge named for him in his native Pittsburgh.
