Inspired by the abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike, and a video of people exploring it, I decided to create my own tunnel scene.
Overgrown Tunnel

Hm. So it looks ok but you still have some work to do. The Plants look very good but they also look very well, strange. There is no light coming throw them. No Volume. And the street looks way to low resolution. The Street looks like a liquid.
So what to improve:
What is already good:
The reason why I made the road all uneven and what you call a “liquid” is because nature has taken over, and has shifted everything around. Also, the road looks low resolution only because of the depth of field, blurring it.
Anyway, I decided to try volumetric mist as you said to add to the mystery of an abandoned tunnel. What do you think? Also, there is some subsurface scattering in the leaves now.
I had trouble getting the light to be visible as a ray, though.
