You could argue it would be the fastest route to Portage though of course the increase in traffic might negate that route. I had a girlfriend who lived in Manor Park and I could make it to the side streets this side of Portage usually in 15 minutes.

But we are talking about if access to/from Hemlock was blocked from the bridge. The detour via Montreal Rd would be considerably longer, especially after it has been narrowed to 3 lanes.
