Not there anymore, do you mean, anymore than anything to the contrary appears to be there anymore?

I'm not sure I see so much as one of these mud bricks in the photos, let alone walls. Sort of looks like the things have been stripped silly.

What evidence is there that these causeways were roofed, might I ask - particularly if there isn't a consensus between Egyptologists what they were roofed with - or that they actually went unfinished?

I suppose you could say G1 went unfinished too because there's all that casing missing, but they seem to like me to think that what actually happened is that it was plundered and repurposed after the fact.

Would there be some issue with the idea that the original materials used for the causeway walls might have been repurposed and later replaced with mud bricks, by the way?

Dunno, most of what Steve's saying seems to make a lot of sense to me. I can't seem to think of why the AEs wouldn't avail themselves of such helpful measures.
