The body, which police have not yet identified, was covered and left on the shoulder of the major road.
It was left in the open, just metres from bush and parkland.
Forensic police, without unwrapping the body, took it to a morgue for an autopsy and forensic tests.
But they have been only been able to establish the deceased was male.
His ethnicity, age, injuries, cause of death and identifying features have yet to be released to the public as the investigation continues, NSW Police told AAP on Monday.
The death is being treated as suspicious and homicide police are still involved in the case.
Anyone who may have seen anything in the area, or has information, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
