Alpine Route, then Takayama on same day?

I plan to travel on the Kurobe-Tateyama Alpine Route on April 17, its opening date. How long does it take to travel the entire route, from Shinanoomachi to Toyama? (I've heard that it will take one whole day, but looking at the transportation schedules in the website, the time required for crossing the Alpine Route seems to be only 3 hours.) If we leave Shinanoomachi early in the morning, is it possible to arrive in Toyama in the early afternoon and catch a train from there to Takayama on the same day?

Yes, if you leave Shinano-Omachi early in the morning, you should have little problem to make it through the route and then catch a train to Takayama.

Thank you, Uji-San, for the information. Can you tell me how early I should leave Shinanomachi? Would 10 a.m. be too late?
I'll stay in Matsumoto the night before and believe that it takes about an hour to commute by train from Matsumoto to Shinanoomachi.
