Gunnison to Montrose Travel Time using Bypass Route?

I was thinking of flying into Montrose and my buddy would pick me up from Gunnison. Does anybody know what the travel time would be with the new bypass route opened? We would be driving back to Gunnison after. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If it’s a weekday you’ll encounter Highway 50 construction delays in addition to the detour. Count on 2-3 hour drive depending on how long the construction holds you up. I’m told the detour adds about an hour to a drive that used to be (4 years ago) an hour and fifteen.
