i dunno about tunnel... i am not a digger but I don't think digging 26 meters (highest point of canal) would require tunneling... just dredging.

I'm also not a digger, but 26 meters of dredging over a 13km distance sounds crazy expensive. You would have to also widen the valley to prevent landslides into the canal.
