I've only read the Verne, but I did re-read it just last year. You are absolutely on-target about being careful about which translation you read.
A couple tunnels that come to mind from recent reading:
Reynolds - On the Steel Breeze (Poseidon’s Children #2)
Two places: in the giant colony/generation ship (leading to <spoiler stuff> AND from the ancestral African home to the “rail gun”
Ashton - Mickey7 (which I will finish later today - 50 pages to go) The title protagonist starts the book in a labyrinth of tunnels, and those tunnels (and what happens there) turn out to be important for the rest of the book, in at least two very prominent ways.
Lastly, it's only a small part of a long book, but:
In Stephen King's The Stand, the Lincoln Tunnel scene is very memorable, very intense, and is generally considered to be one of his most memorable scenes.
