The contact was officially changed in 2018 from Tema - Akosombo to Tema - Mpakadan project, this was necessitated by a number of considerations including Security concerns and Technical concerns in so far as the the proposed alignment brought the train line uncomfortably close to the rather aging Hydroelectric Dam within the 500 meters of the Dam. The realignment has implications in cost though not in time. The total km length increases to 97.78 kilometers with an additional cost element og USD 48m. The contractor is confident in delivering the project by December 2022 despite the delays caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic.
