Atlanta has Krog Street Tunnel though idk if that really counts. It’s unique though because it’s more a gathering space for local street artists and instagrammers than just a tunnel you drive thru.
Miami has the Port Miami Tunnel. The tunnel connects the MacArthur Causeway on Watson Island with Port Miami on Dodge Island by burrowing under Government Cut in Biscayne Bay. The tunnel was completed in 2014 and is 4200 feet in length with a highest elevation of sea level and a lowest elevation of -120 feet.
Downtown Tunnel (I 264)
Midtown Tunnel (US 58)
Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel (I 64)
Monitor-Merrimac Bridge-Tunnel (I 664)
Two tunnels on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (US 13)
IIRC, there are only like 5 bridge-tunnel complexes in the world, and 3 of them are in the Norfolk/Hampton Roads area.

I have to check that out next time I'm there. I've seen it on TV a few times. Thanks.
1. The Pedway
- Short for “pedestrian walkway,” this maze-like system of semi-public hallways
- connects the basements of more than 50 Loop buildings and 45 city blocks.
2. CTA train Tunnels
- two downtown subway tunnels also move commuters through the Loop.
3. Freight tunnels
- 60 miles of freight tunnels 40 feet underground are the most extensive. They also happen to be unique to Chicago.
4. Cable car tunnels
- between 1882 and 1906 it was the cable car network, not the “L,” that served as Chicago’s main form of public transit. In fact, Chicago’s cable car system was once the largest and most profitable of its kind.
5. Water tunnels
- in 1867 Chicago built an intake crib two miles out in Lake Michigan to collect fresh drinking water for the growing city.
- this new crib fed water to the Pumping Station at Chicago and Michigan Avenues via a five foot tall, oval-shaped, brick-lined tunnel more than 10,000 feet long. At the time it was considered an engineering marvel.
6. The Deep Tunnel
- the Deep Tunnel is rarely referred to by its full name, the Tunnel and Reservoir Plan (TARP). Throughout the city.
- this network of giant overflow sewers was built to prevent flooding and cut pollution in the region’s waterways. When heavy storms hit the Chicago area, excess rainwater funnels into the Deep Tunnel system rather than into the lake.
- set to be completed by 2029. The mega-project is one of the largest civil engineering projects ever undertaken in terms of scope, cost and timeframe.
Hubbard’s Cave in Chicago is the stretch of the Kennedy Expy (I-94 and I-90) that is roofed over under Hubbard St, a platform where Metra, the commuter rail system, runs trains to and from the two west river terminals on tracks that serve the west suburbs. Warehouses and other structures share the platform. The Kennedy’s rote through Hubbard’s is only about a quarter. Both the nort and south portals of HC are below grade level so the ride throuh it feels like a tunnel, even if offically it isnt classified as one.

Sounds a lot like DuPont Circle underground in DC, interesting place:
