How long would it take to travel from one side of the milkyway to the other?

[Edit]
First question you need to answer is how wide is the milky way?

Once you know that, then you take that answer multiply it by 5108832000000.

(Distance x 5108832000000) = Years of Travel.

Light Years (ly) x Speed of Light per year = the answer to your question.

70-100,000 light-years (ly) across, with a central bulge of about 10,000 ly in diameter.
