Gainesville Police on Monday plan to clear out a homeless encampment beneath the Queen City Bridge in Gainesville on request from the Georgia Department of Transportation.

Over the years, local residents and nonprofits have provided food and other necessities for those who have settled there. A local ministry, Under the Bridge, formed to pool resources and address the need.
