Here's a diagram dated 08/03/2006:



Don't agree with you Barry. They should have seen that you taxi
rightish from the terminal past Rwy 26 then either one (apparently
from pics) of two taxiways to Rwy 22. Even I can do that.

The diagram doesn't show the additional taxiway that is apparent in
the photographs

News reports quote another pilot as saying that old right-hand
taxiway had a recently-erected barrier across it. He said it was a
complete surprise when he came across it the first time.

The diagram has not been updated to show the newly added 600 foot
extension and connecting taxiway.

Here is a link to a diagram of the changes that were made:

Here is a link to a photo of the old arrangement from Yahoo maps:

As you can see, A-8 would take you to the end of runway 26,

ITYM "runway 22."

and A-7 would
take you 500 feet from the end of the runway.

Looking at the diagram in the above link, plus recent news pictures, the
changes have not extended the runway at the north end,

I think many have missed that point.

but have in fact
diplaced the threshold by 400 feet or so. With the displaced threshold,
the old taxiway A-8 has been closed, and therefore doesn't show on the
diagram referenced in the earlier post.

These aren't super clear, but you can see how the runway has been
repainted to reflect the displaced threshold:
