Narrative:
I erroneously taxied through a marked closed taxiway at cle on the morning of oct/xa/97. On clearance to land, I followed an airliner landing on runway 23L and landed on runway 23R, turning off to the left on taxiway K. I was instructed to hold on taxiway K at runway 23L, did so, and so reported. I was then instructed to cross runway 23L and I proceeded directly across runway 23L and onto the closed taxiway because I thought that I had been so instructed. I believe that her instructions indicated that the closed taxiway was taxiway K and that it was my designated route. I was new to cle and was unaware of the adjacent taxiway K. The controller could have called and turned me left onto taxiway K to stop my entry into the closed taxiway. She did not. I then turned right onto taxiway left as instructed. I entered the ramp where I parked. This was my first visit. I was told to call the tower and did so.
