These are some of the metros that I think are Bridge/Tunnel Metros due to the presence of suspension bridges, and/or cable stayed bridges, and tunnels. I will include bridges that go over water, and tunnels that go beneath water.
New York- Numerous bridges and tunnels, including some of the most grand examples of each.
Boston- Saved by the presence of good tunnels, but is included due to the presence of the bunker hill bridge.
Detroit- The Ambassador Bridge, and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel puts them on this list.
Baltimore- It can be argued that the Chesapeake Bay Bridge is too far from Baltimore, but they have 2 good tunnels.
While there are other cities with both bridges and tunnels, they did not fit into my criteria. Do you have any other cities you would like to add to this list of Bridge/Tunnel metros?
New York for bridges. (Gwb, brooklyn, triborough, verrazano, driscoll, newark bay, i78, njtpk)
Boston for tunnels (summer, callahan, i90, big dig, ted williams, central artery)
That pop to my mind immediately
However, Boston also has some infamous bridges like the Zakim, the ones to seaport, Tobin, Longfellow, BU Bridge) that alot of people know of
Baltimore has two large bridges in the form of the Francis Key Scott Bridge and Hanover Street Bridge
Baltimore's bridges are not suspension or cable stayed bridges, those were the bridges in my criteria, if I included other types, then other cities could make a claim to be on this list.
Pittsburgh and Portland have tunnels and pretty much every type of bridge (suspension, cable stayed, tied arch, truss, beam, etc.)
Pittsburgh was the first city that came to mind in regards to bridges. The core is located at the confluence of 3 major rivers. The Ohio, Allegheny and that 3rd one that I always forget it's name.

Cleveland is another that comes to mind.
Monongahela is that 3rd River.
Cleveland has several cool bridges crossing the Cuyahoga downtown, but no tunnels, anywhere.
