Narrative:
On landing roll runway 28; we were given right on runway 02/20 then right on taxiway a. I inadvertently turned onto taxiway east instead of taxiway a. I took the first right off runway 02/20 which should have been taxiway a; according to the agc. Taxiway east not depicted on the agc. Taxiway east is a high speed turn off from runway 28; prior to runway 02/20; to the intersection of runway 02/20; taxiway a; and taxiway G. With low visibility and no sign for taxiway east; I thought I was on taxiway a. Tower noticed my mistake and gave us clearance onto runway 28 and then to the ramp. It takes months to build a taxiway; how long does it take to put a taxiway on taxi charts?
