Nowadays much of the Pavis road is only a dirt track with periodic mile-stones to mark its existence. However there are still a few places where some old works remain or where some modern repairs have been done. Notably a few bridges across large gullies, and some cuttings through rocky outcrops. (Bad flash floods through the gullies can unexpectedly damage a bridge forcing a party into a long and amusing detour. Rocky cuttings make great places for ambushes. All good MGF stuff.) Unlike most of the other caravan tracks, the Pavis Road is passable by wheeled traffic, though there may be difficulties on the detours mentioned above.
There are also several wells and cisterns that usually provide water for the caravans (except when it is dramatically appropriate for an expected water source to be dry).
The occupying Lunars have built adobe forts at some of the wells to act as bases against the nomads. (Anybody seen "Beau Geste" recently? I'm about to inflict "The Penultimate Remake of Beau Geste" on my group. Hopefully it will get some laughs.)
The Lunars have been making some effort to restore the road for military purposes, they can be as successful as suits your game. I assume that most of the money has been skimmed off by corrupt officials. On paper back in Glamour, the Pavis Road is a 4-lane superhighway. The reality is much more fun.
