The Holland Tunnel was built using the "cut-and-cover" method, where a trench was excavated on land, and then covered with a roof to create the tunnel. Construction began in 1920, and the underwater section was created by boring through the riverbed using a combination of compressed air and a circular tunnel boring machine. After the tunnel was completed, the trench was filled in with soil, and roadways were constructed on top. This innovative engineering allowed the tunnel to safely navigate under the Hudson River, linking New York City and New Jersey.
The Tyne River Tunnel is indeed built partly under water. The lowest spot in the tunnel is 85 feet below the high water mark of the river.
The oldest tunnel in the world is the Tunnel of Eupalinos, located on the Greek island of Samos. It was built in the 6th century BC to supply water to the ancient city of Pythagoreion.
Beavers build a lodge. This is entered from under water but is above water level inside. A dam is built to control the water level.

Venice was built on small islands that is surrounded by water. The refuges that fled from the mainland stayed on the islands when they realize living on the mainland was no longer possible due to invaders.

With a spade.
The channel tunnel
Yes, the Lincoln Tunnel (and the Holland Tunnel) run underneath the riverbed, not under the surface of the water and through the river itself. In other words, they do not run underwater, but under the bottom of the river.
The Holland Tunnel traverses the Hudson River and connects Manhattan to New Jersey. The Holland Tunnel traverses the water at Spring Street in Lower Manhattan. Canal Street also veers north diagonally to almost meet Spring Street at the entrance to the tunnel. So the tunnel is located at the almost-intersection of Canal and Spring Streets.
The Channel is a body of water so the tunnel does not go under towns, but water.

Yes. From the water surface to the top of the tunnel at the deepest point is 40 feet.
