Sec. 2. (a) This chapter shall not authorize the separation of grade crossings of railroads and highways where not authorized by other laws, but shall be considered as supplemental to other laws, and all division of costs as provided for in this chapter, and all provisions for the payment and collection of such costs and expenses and other provisions of other laws relating to the subject matter shall continue in effect, except as inconsistent with this chapter.

(b) Provided, however, that any such railroad or railroads shall be authorized to make all changes in the roadbed, grade, rails, ties, bridges, buildings, and other structural changes as may be necessary to effect such grade separation, and to restore such railroad facilities aforesaid to substantially the same condition as before said separation and the costs and expenses incurred by said railroad or railroads, and in excess of the amount, if any, to be borne by the railroad or railroads, as in this chapter provided, shall be paid by the state, county, or municipality, as the case may be, to such railroad or railroads making such changes.

(c) After the construction of any such grade separation, the public authority or municipality having jurisdiction over such street or highway shall maintain the street or highway, and structures supporting it, and the drainage thereof, where the street or highway is carried over the railroad or railroads, and the railroad or railroad companies shall maintain its or their railway tracks, and where the street or highway is carried under any such railroad or railroads, then the public authority or municipality having jurisdiction over such street or highway, shall maintain the street or highway, and the drainage thereof, and the railroad or railroads shall maintain its or their roadbed and tracks and structures supporting the same.
