That info is 12 years out of date.
Each year from 2004 until 2014, an additional section was paved until it was fully paved in the fall of 2014.
See for yourself:
It was closed to the cycling public until the paving was completed.
There is a business that takes tourists to the top via van, then supervises them on a bicycle descent.
You can see one of their groups in that video.
The business was operating even before the paving was done.
