Where under this section a corporation carries out any highway works in a highway that is not maintainable by it, the provisions of this Part apply in relation to the exercise of those powers as if it were a highway so maintainable.
A corporation that carries out under this section any highway works in a highway that is not maintainable by it does not, by reason of carrying out those works, incur any liability to maintain the highway.
