Do modern bridges fall under the Sunnah of saying takbir when ascending?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Regarding the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about saying takbir on every high place, does this include saying takbir on the bridges that exist now on highways and the like?

Answer:
Yes, indeed. It includes ascending anything that is elevated. One says takbir for every ascent and tasbih for every descent, whether on bridges or otherwise. Yes.
