A modular-type expansion joint system for bridging a gap that is located between spaced-apart structural members. The expansion joint system may be utilized, for example, in bridges, highways, and tunnel constructions where gaps are formed between spaced-apart, adjacent concrete sections. The expansion joint system includes vehicular load bearing members and support members. Seals are located between the vehicular load bearing members. The expansion joint system includes zones of differing movement capabilities in response to displacement events.
