Spanish term or phrase: portada de bienvenida
I am working on a document in which it is stated that a city is planning to construct a "portada de bienvenida" on a certain road.

Since there is not enough content to know whether this is an arch, a sign, or some other form, how could this be expressed in English? A welcome ________

My mind has drawn a blank; I can't come up with anything that sounds natural.
