The Mont Clare Bridge (also Phoenixville – Mont Clare Bridge) is a crossing of the Schuylkill River between Mont Clare and Phoenixville in Pennsylvania, USA. The bridge was also referred to as the Intercounty Bridge, as it connects Montgomery and Chester counties. The bridge abuts a shorter county bridge across the Schuylkill Canal and towpath on the Mont Clare side to complete the crossing. The bridges carry Bridge Street (PA 29), a bike lane and a sidewalk. The bridge will also become part of the Schuylkill River Trail routing.

To cold Clare rock and Galway rock and thorn,
To that stern colour and that delicate line
That are our secret discipline
Wherein the gazing heart doubles her might....”

Where light pushes through;
A sudden turning upon itself of a thing in the air.
A dip to the water.”
