It certainly seems possible that there were other exits apart from the main east gate, though they may have been destroyed later. Compare this to the lonely mountain, which had many ways in and out until Smaug blocked them up.
Of course, there's always the possibility that the dwarves had a bigger bridge that they could remove or destroy during an attack, and that the stone bridge was the only permanent way across the abyss.
