With barely enough time to shake off a turkey coma, hundreds of area residents lined up outside big box retailers as early as Thanksgiving afternoon to partake in the tradition of Black Friday.

After more than seven months of construction, the new bridge opened Wednesday.
Novi Road between 10 Mile Road and Grand River Avenue in Novi has reopened to traffic just in time for the holidays. The $25 million project included building a bridge over the railroad tracks so traffic could flow without being disrupted by trains. The road was also expanded to five lanes, and walking paths were added on both sides. At the ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday afternoon, Novi Mayor Bob Gatt thanked Novi residents, visitors and businesses for their patience during the construction.
