Narrative:
Taxiway south poorly marked closed. Wide enough to taxi through and vehicular traffic (i.e., trucks and carts) still move through the narrow throat. Area adjacent to terminal sufficiently lit but no markings exist on perimeter closest to the runways except blue taxiway lights (illuminated).
