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 [6] across the Schuylkill Canal and towpath on the Mont Clare side to complete the crossing. The crossing carries Bridge Street (PA 29) and the Schuylkill River Trail.
