And from what I can see in the drawing by JRRT, you can make a case that the docks offer a wider space than the bridge.

How many times has
Macalaure repeated that Smaug would have landed on the ground and walked over the bridge (not including the time he mentions it in the post to which you are replying)?
Some people did mention the idea of Smaug landing on the bridge, but that was abandoned quite some time ago in favor of the more reasonable theory that he wished to
land on the ground and cross the bridge. Why do you keep bringing this up?
