Clearing the Way

Clearing the Way for (Location Name) is a Minutemen radiant quest in Fallout 4.

Detailed walkthrough
Like other Minutemen quests, this quest can be periodically obtained while listening to Radio Freedom or when speaking to Preston Garvey. The Sole Survivor is informed of a settlement in need of assistance, with the details being available from the settlers themselves. Alternatively, the Sole Survivor may obtain the quest more directly by speaking to the settlers at a settlement that has not yet been unlocked.

For this quest, the settlers will direct the Sole Survivor to a nearby location that has been overrun by creatures, asking that they be eliminated for the safety of the settlement. They will also mention that the location would be a good spot for a settlement. The Sole Survivor will need to travel to that location and clear it before returning to the settlement to report their success. The location will become available as a settlement after being cleared.

After reporting the successful elimination of the creatures, the settler will express their gratitude towards the Minutemen. Settlements not yet allied with the Minutemen will pledge their support and become allied, allowing their Workshop to be used; the Sole Survivor will be rewarded with ~100 caps otherwise. If the quest was obtained directly from the settler, it will complete immediately at this point. If the quest was obtained from Preston Garvey or Radio Freedom, the Sole Survivor must instead return to Preston to turn in the quest.
