That's only about a 9% grade, so you shouldn't need any major reconstruction.
Assuming the cross-drains are adequate, and if you were in Oregon, the ballpark costs would run as follows:
Pull the ditched and reprocess the road base material that is there: approx: $1,900.00
Add 2 inches of aggregate base rock:
approx: $3,600.00
Pave with 2 inches of Asphalt Concrete
approx: $14,800.00
The cost of asphalt paving has doubled in the last year due to oil prices.
