Re: The Bridge of Khazad-dum
Ron, you seem to be assuming massive freeway-type traffic in and out of the east gate that seems counter to common sense, too. Where's all this in-and-out coming from? The bridge, plus maybe an additional removable span or two, would surely meet all travel requirements. I'm not denying that the dwarves had carts or wheelbarrows or such to move things around more easily inside Moria. But did they have wagons and maintain horses or ponies to pull them around inside the tunnels and hallways? This doesn't seem likely given the dwarvish distaste for mounted travel. So then logically any carts they used would be small in size and manageable by one or a few dwarves. And we can only guess at the food requirements for dwarves.
