We are talking about golf carts after all.

Good question-2 reasons (IMHO)-1) TV is having a really hard time selling out Dabney-although I agree, not sure it makes sense to spend that much money to sell 100 houses (Plus 'Enclave' lots unsold) 2) Land south of Dabney is owned by TV on the Dabney side of the turnpike and slated for commercial development, to the best of my knowledge. My conjecture is that the Bridge over will lead to a tunnel under to give all residents access to the future commercial area. The 'bridge under' could be accomplished once the car overpass is rebuilt as part of the 'turnpike widening project'-I think slated for 2027-more info on that can be found at 'turnpike widening' Dot Com. That opens up the south side of 470 to thousands of 'golf carts' and makes the area more commercially viable in the distant future. So bottom line, I think Step 1 is the golf cart bridge-it will have to be there eventually spanning the new widened 8 lane turnpike-so why not now?
