What a nightmare

For someone like me who has a fear of tunnels, this is my absolute worst nightmare. Switzerland has LOTS of tunnels through all the mountains and hills, including the monster St. Gotthard Tunnel, which is apparently the 2nd longest road tunnel in the world at 17 km. We drove through it a couple months ago on the way to Italy. They had a bad fire in the St. Gotthard a few years ago as well. Wouldn't you think there would be a name for the fear of tunnels? I looked at a few websites that listed hundreds of phobias, but couldn't find one for tunnels.
