The current appearance of the Saint-Nicolas bridge of Joigny dates from its reconstruction in the 18th and 19th centuries. On the gate side of the bridge, the two stone arches followed by the three wooden arches definitively washed away by the floods in 1725 were rebuilt in stone in 1728 according to plans by Germain Boffrand, the royal engineer of bridges and roads. As for the seven arches on the other side, they were replaced by four arches under the direction of Huppeau in 1765. Almost a century later, Desmaisons substituted Boffrand's first two arches by a single one.
