Yep, it's almost certainly Topaz, and an over-the-top job at that. I'm probably jaded from having seen so much of it in the challenges, but that "look" is getting long in the tooth, and this example is overcooked to the point of being shoe leather!
All that said, when done well, the look can really work for some photos.

true. i have never liked over the top processing and screaming HDR's but this just looked impressive
Yup, looks like Topaz Adjust on Crisp setting, in this case not faded back a bit on opacity layers to soften it up a bit but applied full force. The amount of detail in the roadbed is the giveaway, crispy crunchy.
