Narrative:

After landing on runway 25L, rolled out longer than expected and began to exit runway onto taxiway A2, which was notamed closed on the ATIS. A company aircraft was forced to go around as a result. I failed to tell the first officer (first officer was PF) that taxiway A2 was closed, because we usually do not use that taxiway. We had fully cleared the runway before I inquired ATC about the closure. In the future, I plan to discuss all taxiway closures adjacent to our landing runway and along our expected taxi route with the first officer, regardless of whether or not we 'normally' use them. Although I do accept full responsibility, I must add that I have become somewhat accustomed to 'runway exiting instructions' from ATC. For example, 'right turn at taxiway A2, ground point 8.' I would think that they (ATC) would be especially vigilant in a case like this. But, they were probably thinking the same thing I was -- 'we usually don't use taxiway A2.'

Title: AFTER LNDG MKE, A BE1900 CREW APPARENTLY SLOWED TO TURN OFF ON A TXWY THAT WAS CLOSED. THE DELAY EXITING THE RWY CAUSED A COMPANY ACFT TO GO AROUND.

Narrative: AFTER LNDG ON RWY 25L, ROLLED OUT LONGER THAN EXPECTED AND BEGAN TO EXIT RWY ONTO TXWY A2, WHICH WAS NOTAMED CLOSED ON THE ATIS. A COMPANY ACFT WAS FORCED TO GO AROUND AS A RESULT. I FAILED TO TELL THE FO (FO WAS PF) THAT TXWY A2 WAS CLOSED, BECAUSE WE USUALLY DO NOT USE THAT TXWY. WE HAD FULLY CLRED THE RWY BEFORE I INQUIRED ATC ABOUT THE CLOSURE. IN THE FUTURE, I PLAN TO DISCUSS ALL TXWY CLOSURES ADJACENT TO OUR LNDG RWY AND ALONG OUR EXPECTED TAXI RTE WITH THE FO, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT WE 'NORMALLY' USE THEM. ALTHOUGH I DO ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY, I MUST ADD THAT I HAVE BECOME SOMEWHAT ACCUSTOMED TO 'RWY EXITING INSTRUCTIONS' FROM ATC. FOR EXAMPLE, 'R TURN AT TXWY A2, GND POINT 8.' I WOULD THINK THAT THEY (ATC) WOULD BE ESPECIALLY VIGILANT IN A CASE LIKE THIS. BUT, THEY WERE PROBABLY THINKING THE SAME THING I WAS -- 'WE USUALLY DON'T USE TXWY A2.'
