Mont Clare Bridge

Mont Clare Bridge is a road structure that crosses the Schuylkill River, connecting the village of Mont Clare with Phoenixville. The structure features a ten-foot-wide (3-meter-wide) path with protective barriers for pedestrians and cyclists.

The crossing began as Indiantown Ford during the Revolutionary War, when American and British troops forded across the river. Over time, the location developed into a key transportation point between the counties.

The bridge connects two communities across the river and is used daily by pedestrians and cyclists moving between the towns. It serves as a practical link that people rely on for their everyday travel.

The best time to visit is during daylight hours when the path is well-lit and safe for travel. The structure is accessible for pedestrians and cyclists moving between the communities.

The structure includes specialized shock transmission units designed to protect it from earthquake damage. These devices help maintain structural integrity under extreme conditions.
