Peruse the old threads and see if any of the ones mentioned are still open.
More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.

I'm going to refrain from being snarky about above groundtunnels.

Because, in technical parlance, a tunnel is always underground.

Hmm, most above ground tunnels are called culverts, aren't they? When I think of conduit, I think of a tube for wiring and pipes to go through. I guess that could be above ground, but is that what we are talking about?

Merriam Webster defines a conduit as "a natural or artificial channel through which something (as a fluid) is conveyed". A conduit can be above ground and can be used to convey humans or even hot dogs. Hot dog conduits. You know, like your mom.

Culverts usually go underground, like under a driveway or road.

What about wormholes? That would be a theoretical above ground tunnel.

I was seeing the road or driveway as being above ground, since they are normally elevated, but I guess its debatable about where the underground begins.

You might be onto something with the worm holes. A quick search brings up articles about above ground ant holes.
