What is recorded here
Clearwater bridge spans the Shannon at Clarebridge, guiding traffic across one of Ireland's widest rivers. The water beneath the deck has carried boats, salmon and rain from the west for centuries. A steel arc and living current join human intention and natural force in a single crossing.
