SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Tree clearing on a stretch of Quince Road, from U.S. 20 to Edison Road, takes place on Monday.

Quince Road will be marked as closed during this work but traffic will be maintained through the closure areas.

For safety purposes, the road will be closed at times while crews clear trees.

Tree clearing will start at U.S. 20 and work south toward Edison.

The clearing is expected to last through Monday but may extend into Tuesday.

Tree clearing is the first stage of a more extensive project on the road, which involves roadway milling and drainage improvement.
