There are also plans to widen Rt. 470 from the Sumter-Lake County line to route 27, but there is no indication whether that will include a golf cart lane or even two additional lanes over the turnpike. The cost estimate seemed too low for that, but plans may change to include widening of the bridge. Since Central Parkway now does not have a golf cart lane, it is not likely to have one over the Turnpike.
Dabney will have TV to the northwest, west, and south, but there will never be TV to the east since that land is mostly developed. You have to decide if that's a good or bad thing. You will be very close to the Turnpike and access to towns south and east and also only 45 minutes from the airport. You can easily escape the bubble from Dabney; you just have to decide how important that is to you.

The Developer does own about 500 acres south of Dabney/Lake Denham and east/north of the Turnpike under the name RAPID INFILTRATION BASIN INFRASTRUCTURE & TRANSMISSION LLC. One only knows what they plan to do with this.
The "Secret Promise" purchase that you refer to is actually on the other side (west/south) of the Turnpike and abuts all of the Developer property on the Sumter County side. No need for any additional bridges or tunnels to access this from the rest of the Villages.
