Its complicated but It can be made into a 3 by 1 tunnel if you do it like this.

This is the answer you're looking for.

This is how I'm doing all my vertical up- and downwards redstone routing nowadays, repeaters don't play by the "diagonal-block-break-flow"-rule.
The above will also work if you use a block that would normally break the current, making it completely invisible.

You have to step it down unless you have a mod, I think it's called Vertical Redstone (clever).

Depending on what you need to power, i've been using pistons to push a block down to complete a circuit but unless you're only going down 1 level, you'll have to build put another piston at the bottom set to auto-reset the stack after current is removed. I had planned to play around with it more when I get home but you should be able to send current down as many as 13 vertical blocks.

You can use a downward pointing sticky piston with a block attached that breaks a circuit when extended.

Someone give this man a medal.
ninjaedit: Seriously, you should post this to r/minecraftinventions and stuff to reap some karma.
You just solved a huge door problem for me :DDDDDDDDDDD
Wow, how did you think of that?!
Of course, with an sticky piston and a solid block. Clever.
Bonus track: to invert the output, if I'm not wrong, fill the hole down the piston with a block, and exchange the "out" redstone "block" with a repeater aiming out of the piston
