What purpose do these tunnels serve? Is it an access road bypass or something like that (a la the Parmer bypass or I-35 access road bypass under 1431)? Or is it another purpose?
This is one project I've heard lots of complaints about due to delays, but I'm not really privy to the details.

The original plans called for flyovers, but the tunnels were chosen because those NIMBYs who don't like anything tall raised objections. The southern extension of the MoPac toll lanes is facing the same objection over a flyover.
