Is the R703 road in Morocco paved?

It’s a pretty spectacular road in parts, running through Todra Gorges (subject to flooding) and climbing up to Tizi-n-Tirherhouzine, a high mountain pass at an elevation of 2.675m (8,776ft) above sea level and subject to winter closures. The gorge requires a careful driving (water flows over the road) in the rain. The road was fully paved in 2014. Do not travel this road in severe weather conditions.
