Narrative:
At cle; we were given taxi instructions from the FBO to runway 24R for departure via L2; left; K; J1; J; south. There were numerous taxiway closures due to construction. This also included runway 24L/6R. After we turned left from taxiway K onto J1; I observed a taxiway sign that indicated taxiway J was off to the left at a 45 [degree] angle. I turned left according to the sign; but was then advised by ATC that I was in fact heading towards J2 which did not connect with J due to a barricade. I performed a 180 [degree] turn and continued farther down J1 where I eventually found taxiway J and continued the taxi to runway 24R. I think the sign I saw while on J1 indicating taxiway J was to the left is misleading as J1 continues for some distance before it intersects with taxiway J. A request by me for clarification or a progressive taxi could have avoided the occurrence or better signage to properly indicate how to get to taxiway J...straight and then left.

Narrative: At CLE; we were given taxi instructions from the FBO to Runway 24R for departure via L2; L; K; J1; J; S. There were numerous taxiway closures due to construction. This also included Runway 24L/6R. After we turned left from Taxiway K onto J1; I observed a taxiway sign that indicated Taxiway J was off to the left at a 45 [degree] angle.
