Field tips
I recommend using a wide-angle lens (14mm) to emphasize the curvature of the tunnel.
The two-tone floor and unique curvature of the tunnel offer a lot of opportunities to play around with perspectives and angles. I recommend aligning yourself with the white line in the ground so you create symmetry in your composition.
If you'd like to add a human element to your shot, wait for cyclists or pedestrians to pass through the frame.
