Narrative:

I had the flight into rno night of 10/thu/05. During preflight planning received the company NOTAM sheet that listed the closure of runway 16R/34L and associated ILS NAVAID shutdowns. No txwys were listed as being closed. On arrival; the ATIS verified the runway was closed. We were given the visual approach to runway 34R. We anticipated clearing the runway at taxiway F. After landing; we turned onto taxiway F and the tower said; 'if able; turn back onto the runway and clear at the end.' it was then that I noticed that there was a big hole in the middle of the closed runway. We were able to turn back onto the runway. My concern is that there were a significant number of taxiway closures on the airport (txwys J and B were also closed); and we were never advised of such. Not on the company NOTAM sheet or the airport ATIS.
