This is the current width of my bridge:

A wagon is three squares wide.  That bridge should be more than enough.

You can also check if a depot is accessible by pressing a capital D.

[PatrikLundell]

Yes, a wagon requires 3 tiles width. However, it's said you need more space to turn, as the draft animals need to be in front of the wagon. Draft animals can pass over traps (which the wagon itself cannot), so a serpentine track around trap rows works as long as there is a 3 tile wide path around the traps.

[BoogieMan]

That makes me wonder about something, do you need 3 rows of ramps for a wagon to go down a level, or is one row enough?

I would think no, but has anyone tested if wagons can use stairs if they are in big enough blocks and/or staggered as to go downwards or upwards?

[Galena]

You only need 1 level of ramps

[PatrikLundell]

One row is sufficient. I've used one row of ramps per level to get caravan wagons to go down the the level of my trade depot.

I'm fairly sure stairs cannot be used, although I've never tried. You'd likely have to wait for the far away large machinery release to get elevators...

[Skorpion]

Single rows of ramps work fine. Stairs definitely do not.

I regularly site my depots underground, in easily defensible places and with a drawbridge to keep invaders out and traders in.
It also helps to retain water should the elves bring nothing but cloth again.

I already have a wooden bridge with that format and when I press D it has Wagon Inaccessible over it

EDIT: Figured out the problem

As a longterm sufferer of weird tech problems that were resolved with "edit: figured it out thanks" five years ago, I now have an unbearable urge to hunt you down and beat you to death with a modem.
