Could the incline be too great to make the road direct?

Look at the railroad tracks. The road has to be elevated high enough to clear the tracks, but the tracks are too close to the intersecting road to have it touch back down at the elevation of the intersection. Adding the loop ramp extends the length road to give it more horizontal distance to accommodate a gentle grade.

Looks like it is staging space for vehicles entering a tunnel. The tunnel speed is slower than the road, and cars in the tunnel cause a slowdown on the road. One of the tunnels going into Manhattan NY has something similar, because they collect tolls at the opening of the tunnel.
