There had 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 has the main platform with a height of 48 feet (15 m) at its east end and 51 feet (16 m) at its west end.
The station is about 5.8 miles (9.3 km) from Wiehle–Reston East, the next station to the west, but only about 0.8 miles (1.3 km) from Greensboro directly to the southeast.
