Be not afraid!

Gephyrophobia is the anxiety disorder or specific phobia characterised by the fear of bridges and tunnels. As a result, sufferers of gephyrophobia may avoid routes that will take them over bridges or through tunnels. The term gephyrophobia comes from the Greek γέφυρα (gephura), meaning "bridge".

 

Considering the possibilities for crime in city tunnels and underpasses I suppose the fear is not entirely irrational.
