It doesn't exactly look like a tunnel; the closest I can come to visualising it is as a string of three connected spheres - each of which is inside the other when seen from outside. In this animation, the three spheres are delineated by different coloured cubes. As you pass through the middle sphere - the throat - it transforms briefly into an infinite plane, then turns inside-out.
Of course in an OA wormhole, there are no cubic frameworks visible; but there may be some sort of visible framework holding the exotic energy in place, and you may be able to spot those as you pass through.
That is actually what I was expecting it to be like. My question was meant to be about why the article also states that ships which are too large to pass through "come into contact with the walls of the Throat". Does that part of the article need to be edited out? The reason I was asking about wormholes being portrayed as tunnels is because I had thought it looked more like that image you sent, and I guess I was correct about that.
