So your roast is more than 2x the size of the roast in the recipe.
You can use the chart in the link to estimate, but there is a big range of time (3/4 to 2 and 2/3 hour) depending on cut of meat, temp of oven, size of roast.
Use a meat thermometer (if you don't have one, worth it...usually available under $10 for a basic one) to really gauge whether the roast is both safe to eat (minimum) and to your taste (further cooking).

I hope this is in time to help on this roast.
