Description
The Great East Road is a road which ran from west to east through The Shire and the whole Eriador. It was originally laid by the Dwarves probably during the First Age, and ran from the Iron Hills through Rhovanion to Khazad-dûm, from which it continued across Eriador to the Blue Mountains, and then on into Kingdom of Doriath in Beleriand.
When the Númenórean realm-in-exile of Arnor was founded, the Arnorians took over the maintenance of it and built several fortresses on or near it (including Weathertop). After Arnor was divided, the Great East Road formed the boundary between two of its successor states, Cardolan and Rhudaur.

On this picture you can see a travelling party of dwarves on the Great East Road near Weathertop.
