Maybe. Usually the quicker you get to a real highway the better. Those state roads have lights and traffic. So really the answer depends on where you're starting from. In this day and age, I would ask Google maps. Plug in a day and time (e.g. Monday 7am) and try some different options. It's been a long time since I've had to commute anywhere that I couldn't bike to.

Good luck with the new job.
