There is the small matter of geology, following have to be considered, for example:
-Rock type
-Groundwater flow
-Tectonic activity
You can have a whole career as a geotechnical engineer. There are genuine and difficult problems that require consideration if your tunnel isn't to collapse after a few years of use. I don't think these problems magically disappear with new technology or going deep enough.
