The Rainbow Bridge (Bifrost) is from Viking Mythology - it is the bridge
that links Midgard (the world inhabited by humans) to Asgard (the home of
the Gods).  It was built of fire, air and water, and it took the form of a
rainbow.  In their mythology, it was only used by the Gods to come down to
the human world and back home again.  It was guarded by a god, Heimdall.
 
So it's current usage is an adaptation.
 
Hope that wasn't more than you cared to know <G>!
