Cross-city commute

Every Friday I need driving from my work city to my living city to get together with my family, it's a 150km road trip. During the trip, the distance in my work city is 20km and it costs me one hour, the left 130km costs one and half a hour.
Yesterday was rainy day, I feared there would be car accidents which resulted in terrible traffic jams, so I asked for a half day leave, began the trip in the noon and it only cost less than two hours, it was so happy.

A "road trip" is more like a special travel you would do for fun on vacation. Regular commuting (even if a long drive) would not be described as this

During the trip, tThe distance into leave my work city is 20 km and it costs me one hour, the lefttakes an hour, and the remaining 130 km costs oneto reach my home city takes an hour and a half a hour.

More natural & clear.

"During" would involve describing a second activity transpiring during the first activity (driving), e.g., "I listened to the radio during the drive." It can't be used for just describing the drive (distance)

Things normally "take" time. You can use "cost" for time, but it usually carries some angry/disgruntled emotion with it (someone might use "cost" when they are complaining angrily). Using "take" is neutral/standard

Yesterday was a rainy day,. I feared there would be car accidents which resulteding in terrible traffic jams, so I asked for a half day of leave, began the trip in theat noon, and it only costtook less than two hours, itI was so happy.

You can say "at noon" for 12 PM (or very close to it), or "in the afternoon" for any general time after 12 PM and before evening

I edited your entry to sound more natural and to use more advanced synonyms of simple words like happy.
