Default Paving the dragon?

So I was just trolling 'thedragon' tags on Instagram and stumbled across several photos that a road tech posted of them paving the dragon today. Does anybody else know anything about this?

Yes it is at mm 9.5 going towards the overlook southbound.
They are finishing up from working on the rock slide area.
