Local legend relates that on viewing the plans for the original interchange, an engineer was heard to exclaim "It's like a can of worms!". That person was Stanley Kozak. The term came into common use, probably via local media, and eventually was marked on local streetmaps.

Paradoxically, the new intersection is actually more complex than the previous one, in the sense that there are now more ramps connecting the two highways than before. However the rebuilding realized major benefits as follows:
  • Traffic proceeding east-west on I-490 was required to merge across I-590 traffic in order to continue on the same highway. This was eliminated. There was a corresponding benefit for I-590 traffic.
