This couple did it in 2015. Their videos are a little newer than your experience, but they seem to confirm what you saw out there in 2013.

This was a response to my 2016 query, from a government of NL employee
"In response to your email requesting road surface condition;
Ø Route 500 (Boarder in Labrador West to Goose Bay) is asphalt paved - 546 km.
Ø Route 510 (Goose Bay to L’anse au Clair) is 606 km, of which 160 km is paved and 446km is a well graded gravel surface.
Ø All of the connecting / access roads have a well graded gravel surface. As an added note, the gravel roads within Labrador are well maintained, wet weather and gravel roads generally don’t provide the ideal driving conditions.
Diesel fuel / gas is available in Labrador City, Churchill Falls, Goose Bay, Port Hope Simpson ( 383km east of Goose Bay ) and in Red Bay ( 528 km east of Goose Bay ). There are other locations in the various communities located off of Route 510 as well.
There is no up-dated road condition report available on-line during the summer months ( May – October), however, we do offer Construction Traffic Advisories : http://www.roads.gov.nl.ca/construction/default.stm."
