Even the rainbow bridged proved that .
I see. Well, what I'm about to present is an array of different writer's interpretation of Asgard's location,
we'll see if there's anything familiar between them.
-----------------------------------
Asgard is ... "far beyond this realm of Space and Time" (616)
-----------------------------------
Asgard is .... "an incomputable distance away, ... far beyond the reach of Mortal Time" (616)
-----------------------------------
Asgard is ... "far beyond the conventional boundaries of Reality" (616)
-----------------------------------
Asgard is ... "a distant Dimension" ... or "another Plane of Reality" (either way, outside 616)
-----------------------------------
Asgard is ... "an extra-Dimensional Realm" (therefore outside 616)
-----------------------------------
Asgard is ... separated from 616 by "Dimensional Barriers" (no different than any other universe)
-----------------------------------
Asgard is ... "Far beyond mortal man's understanding of Time and Space" (616) ...
"Beyond even his wildest dreams of Reality" (616)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You mentioned the "Rainbow Bridge" ... but with out that "Bridge," Asgard has no access to the 616 universe:
The "Bridge" is an inter-dimensional passage way/portal that traverses "an infinite void" to reach 616:
Bifrost by-passes Space and Time to reach 616 and vice-versa. (another space-time is another universe)
Thor (mjolnir able to dimension hop) still had difficulty reaching Asgard from 616 when the Bridge was broken:

Btw, all the Pantheons are located in realms outside 616, from Olympus to Ancient Egypt,
and they themselves are separate from each other as well,
in some cases, by infinite universes, as silly as it sounds.
