Footnotes
| 1 | There are some records of bridge-building before the War of the Last Alliance, to help organise the transport of troops into the southern lands, and though it is never stated for certain that the bridge over the Baranduin was one of these, it seems at least plausible. If so, it would have to date back to the earliest part of Arnor's history, before the end of the Second Age. |
