The Circle line through Barbican almost fits this description - it was
in open cutting before being rebuilt in tunnel when the Barbican
Centre was built.

Did they lower the level of the tracks when they built the Barbican
Centre? Or did they just use the valuable air space over the tracks in
the cutting?

Neither - the line was completely re-routed, the new route being in
tunnel.
