context_page_description: McLean is a Washington Metro station in Fairfax County, Virginia, on the Silver Line. The station is located in Tysons, with a McLean postal address. It began operation on July 26, 2014.
context_section_description: Access to McLean station is provided by two entrances, one on each side of SR 123. The southern entrance connects to the northern entrance and mezzanine with a pedestrian bridge about 50 ft (15 m) above SR 123, with the mezzanine containing ticket machines and faregates.
  McLean has a simple island platform setup with two tracks. While there was some controversy about whether to build the rail through Tysons below ground or on elevated tracks, McLean is also elevated. No permanent car parking is planned at the station. A bus station and kiss-and-ride lot are on the southern side of SR 123. Bike parking is also available.
  The main platform has a height of 55.5 ft (16.9 m) at its east end and 49 ft (15 m) at its west end.
