Here's a circa-1889 map:

and a 1928 map of the area:

The footbridge crosses Mill Creek, which then feeds into the Morris Canal Basin. The current bridge is where the rail bridge is on the 1928 map. You can see the Morris Canal route well in the 1889 map; it followed Canal Street (which was just south of present-day Grand Street) and emptied into either the Big or Little Basin.

Other parts of it may soon be a bikeway?
