Do i have to go under my driveway to install a dual gate operator?

If you have an expansion joint in the driveway then, depending on the model gate opener and the thickness of the wires crossing the driveway, you may be able to utilize that instead of going under the driveway.

Another option some choose is installing two single gate openers on each side of the driveway. However this option is more expensive and does not behave like a traditional dual gate opener that is coordinated on opening and closing. This only works when you use a gate opener remote with two buttons and you press one button to open one side and the other button to open the other. The driveway gate leafs cannot over lap nor can you use a gate lock. Some try to use a single button remote but the issue with this is if you press the single button and one side opens and the other misses the signal then when you press the remote again it will start the second side and stop the first side. The two driveway gate leafs will be out of unison and become very frustrating to get coordinated again.
