Yes. I can't explain for the life of me why did they make it intersection forcing drivers coming north on Route 21 to loop around by the river and then cross 21 again at grade in a gigantic Jug Handle putting them in a collision course for southbound 21 drivers trying to figure out the fork before their eyes. Not only that, but half the time the driver's trying to access 280 West by Crossing Route 21 can't do it because it's already a line of cars stuck in traffic going Southbound on Route 21 blocking the Box ! There is no reason why the Northbound 21 exit to I-280 couldn't just go around by the river and then immediately launch upward, cross over 21 where it will meet the ramp coming up from 21 South. With all the empty land occupied by The Jug Handle interchange they could have built something better. Somewhere along the line it was decided to go for the cheaper at-grade option.
