ground port of entry at (Tancredo Neves) Bridge


Explanation:
In terms of US immigration, a "ponto de migração terrestre" is often referred to as "port of entry". I would add "ground" to the translation. See example below.

As far as the bridge name, it could be kept in Portuguese, translated into English, or a combination of both.

Not sure if this would make sense in Australian English.

Example sentence(s):
  • Border enforcement is being enhanced by a ground port of entry improvement plan. Weapons accountability and warehouse management has improved. Most other logistics functions, however, are making slow progress.
