Emergency repairs are required for safety purposes which means closing 4th Avenue NW between Laurier St and the Lynbrook golf course entrance. 

Access to the Lynbrook Golf Course is to the north off of Thatcher Drive West.

CN Railways expects the repairs to take approximately two days, however, their representative stated it may be longer.  They will know more once they have evaluated the condition of the bridge.

No details on how the railway bridge was damaged other than it occurred sometime on Friday.
