The Airport Expansion is paid for almost entirely by "user fees" i.e. the hidden tax on every flight that accesses the terminal.
The tunnel had nothing to do with the airport - the airport mostly said they didn't need it. Yes, it runs past the airport, that's about it. The city needs it for it's own purposes- and if by "limited benefit" you mean "Already has paid for itself in future savings" than you are correct.
