The 42-minute trip

From the center of Parkway, the route uses Golden State Highway to US 50, then I-80 west and Highway 113 south. The split is about 5 miles on US 50, 16 on I-80 and 4 on Highway 113, total 31.4 miles.

That is 20.5 miles as the crow flies, so the road adds about 11 miles. It is a free-flow time, not a promise.
