Re: The Bridge of Khazad-dum

Just to add a little gas to the fire...

Khazad-dum was a fortress, so it seems likely that the dwarves would have made provisions for stockpiling food to sustain them in the event of a siege or a falling out with their trading partners.

There's no evidence that they used wagons to move trade goods around inside Moria after they had been dropped off by trading partners, so why is it so unbelievable that they'd carry such goods the few extra yards from the gate over the bridge? Ditto with exports. It seems unlikely that they'd have huge caravans arriving daily with goods. The bridge seems an ample provision for traffic even for a once-a-week caravan.
