Yes, dirt or sand has washed or blown onto the asphalt part of the road so they do like a snow plow and scrape it back off.
Although I don’t live there and it’s hard for me to imagine that much dirt/sand blowing into the road that it would cover a body when scraped. I know when it snows that it’s a pretty big pile but I’ve never heard of dirt/sand being that much.
And...it shocks me the plowed didn’t see her body. I am rural with grass and weeds growing on the sides of the highway and I can easily see a deer carcass off the side of the highway. It’s heartbreaking they didn’t see her [emoji22]
Well, I did some searching and found this:

It's sales particulars of 88 acres of land on the north side of Aqueduct Road and apparently across the road from Earp post office and next to Oasis minimart, uploaded 152 days ago, ie July this year. Look at the 1st, 2nd and 4th photos in the sequence for this entry, which shows a line of sand and dirt piled along the roadside.
You see it best in the 7th image, where the front of the photographer's car provides a sense of scale for the sand banks. They are clearly several feet high and around 10 feet back from the edge of the road so one can understand how her body was concealed once buried.
