Zurich City Bike Tunnel

That seems to be a very substantial tunnel for what is effectively not that much money. The Stadt Tunnel cost 38.8 million Swiss Francs - ~AUD 74.1 million here.
Kind of off topic, but at the start of the video, are all those cyclists ride across a pedestrian crossing (weaving around the pedestrians in the process) against a red light?

It is an interesting concept that could potentially be applied in Brisbane.
For example, a busway tunnel under UQ could potentially incorporate a bike tunnel. Alternatively, if there were ever a bus tunnel connecting Newstead and Bulimba, perhaps it could incorporate a bike tunnel as well.
These projects are important because they demonstrate proof of concept.
