Downtown Detroit to the northern 'burbs ~25-30min

Dearborn ~15-20 min depending on where you are going from/to in DB.

Opera to DTW ~20-25 min

Times are approx given normal traffic. However, there is construction going on in Detroit on many roads so you might want to check out http://mdotwas1.mdot.state.mi.us/public/LaneClosure/ before heading out anywhere.
