Spring Hill station
Spring Hill (preliminary names Tysons West, Tysons – Spring Hill Road)[2][3] is a Washington Metro station in Fairfax County, Virginia, on the Silver Line. Located in Tysons Corner, it began operation on July 26, 2014. The station will be located in the central median of Leesburg Pike (SR 7) just west of Spring Hill Road. There has been some controversy about whether to build the rail through Tysons Corner below ground or on elevated tracks.
The efforts to build a tunnel through all of Tysons Corner failed, and the current design calls for the main platform to have a height of 48 feet (15 m)* at its east end and 51 feet (16 m)* at its west end.[4]
