Narrative:
Taxiing in from 27R; we got the instruction to taxi via Z; ss; hold short of T1. There is no taxiway direction sign to identify T1; and in fact it didn't look like there is a crossing taxiway at all. On the chart; just a few pixels just out to the west; and in real life; it seemed like our taxiway (ss) just continued without anything crossing it. This could have been very easily missed. We didn't miss it and did hold short as we had a good idea to expect it from the chart. Likely an oversight due to frequent changes of configuration and signage due to construction. Put in a sign.
