Well that looks like more than a couple of winch lines can handle.
With our underfunded agencies I hope this gets fixed before too long, but I figure about a year would be lucky.

It’s open. That was rather quick. Dynamite? Heavy bulldozers and cranes? I can’t find any info on the mechanics of that clearing.

A lot depends on where they put them. They don't look too big a good sized front end loader should be able to move them. If it is just a matter of throwing them over the side even easier, push em over with a D9. Couple of hours then dump in some fill and compact and grade.

So, you know that’s how they did it? That would be my assumption as well, but everyone knows where assumptions lead us.

No I don't know, Even if they picked them up and put them in trucks and hauled them away it's not a big job. Like I said it depends on what they do with them and the size of their equipment. They probably have at least a 20T truck and a medium front end loader available, if not they can contract it out. My point being that it can be done rather quickly with the right stuff.
