It will take awhile to get that out of the way and the road is totaled for 50 feet.

I'm sure that the CO road dept has plenty of contractors that are adept at drilling and blasting rock. But I'd guess 3 weeks to a month or so. But they should have that single bypass lane in place quickly. Assuming the slope above is stable, if not who knows.

Looking at the map you could go south from Ouray on 550 and not too far down is a gray line on the map road that would bypass the rockfall.
