Spring Hill station (preliminary names Tysons West, Tysons–Spring Hill Road) 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 48 ft at its east end and 51 ft at its west end. The station is about 5.8 mi from Wiehle–Reston East, the next station to the west, but only about 0.8 mi from Greensboro directly to the southeast. Spring Hill is the least used DC Metro station in Fairfax County at 609 entries per weekday in 2023.
