That tunnel is going to get pretty congested on match days, it was bad enough before the North stand construction.The buildings will be connected part way up to the towers so that there is a tunnel for people to pass through City Square without needing to walk all the way around.

May be wrong but could see steel works starting at the towers and built across to the structure of the buildings. The exterior will match the design of the buildings so it all blends together.
