Spring Hill station (preliminary names Tysons West, Tysons–Spring Hill Road)[1][2] is a Washington Metro station in Fairfax County, Virginia, on the Silver Line. Located in Tysons, it began operation on July 26, 2014. The station is located in the central median of Leesburg Pike (SR 7) just west of Spring Hill Road.

There had been some controversy about whether to build the rail through Tysons below ground or on elevated tracks. The efforts to build a tunnel through all of Tysons failed, and the current design has the main platform with a height of Template:Convert at its east end and Template:Convert at its west end.[3]

The station is about Template:Convert from Template:Wmata, the next station to the west, but only about Template:Convert from Template:Wmata directly to the southeast.

Spring Hill is the least used DC Metro station in Fairfax County at 609 entries per weekday in 2023.[4]

History

From May 23 until August 15, 2020, this station was closed due to the Platform Reconstruction west of Template:Wmata and the Silver Line Phase II tie construction.[5] This station reopened beginning on August 16, 2020, when trains were able to bypass East Falls Church station.[6][7]
