A worker on the Queensferry Crossing has died after taking ill at the site.
The 57-year-old became unwell shortly after starting his shift on Monday morning.
He was treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy, where he died.
A Transport Scotland spokesman said co-workers immediately provided first aid before emergency services arrived.
Police Scotland has confirmed the death.
There are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances.
A spokesman said: “Police Scotland were contacted after a 57-year-old man took unwell on the Queensferry Crossing around 9am on Monday.
“He was taken to Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, where he later passed away.
“Inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the death are ongoing and a report will be sent to the procurator fiscal in due course.”
A spokesman for the Queensferry Crossing project added: “Emergency services attended the site this morning after a colleague had taken ill.
“The incident is understood to be unconnected with work activities and further details are not available at this time.”
The Transport Scotland spokesperson added: On behalf of everyone connected to the project, we extend our deepest sympathy to his family and friends at this tragic time.”
