Narrative:

On rollout after landing, tower instructed us to turn right at end. We started a right turn and were in process of stopping when tower said stop. Taxiway we had turned on was restr to aircraft 12500 (we were an large transport). Taxiway tower wanted us on appeared to be unused/closed taxiway because of weeds and grass growing between cracks. We were pushed back on runway for taxi in. Station manager told us we were about the fifth or sixth aircraft to do this recently. More thorough review of NOTAMS could have prevented this, also maybe a note on the ATIS.
