Maybe route the wires from under the bridge by drilling a hole, then fit the deoder on the bottom of the ramp, then connect the signal and secure it.

I do have both C Track bridges and digital signals but I never implemented a signal on a bridge. I believe semaphores (like 70392) could be implemented (normally on the right side, in Germany) but this requires a large surgery of a straight bridge with a significant "overgrow" of the mechanism outside of the bridge which distances with a prototypical aspect. Regarding light signals, it looks better and seems to me: - there is no implantation on C-Track bridges without doing a minimal surgery of the bridge and of the signal connector support to keep only the connector and the mechanical locking of the signal. - this is only possible on straight bridges as with curved bridges, even in absence of signals some Märklin units bump on railings - of course, the digital relay must be located under the table. - Viessman Light signals have a "Steckfuss" which requires drilling a 5.5 mm diam. hole which also will be difficult to hide unless using the signal base 4733 and doind some surgery. Cheers Jean
