To James Duck Dear James: First, thank you for your help and expertise in maritime matters. But no, in this case it must indeed be "asas da ponte". It appears several times in the translation that I'm doing. It must be part of, or appended to the bridge. In Google there is a story about the Prime Minister giving a speech from the "Asa da Ponte". :)

Could it be "asas da ponta" instead, by chance?
