As we made our approach and landing into RAP we were cleared to exit Runway 32 via Runway 5 and taxi in via Alpha. Once we landed in the rain the visibility quickly diminished while trying to exit the runway. We inadvertently turned onto Taxiway B which is approximately 40-60 feet prior to the Runway 5 intersection. Taxiway Bravo is supposed to be closed due to new concrete that was poured but the taxiway was only barricaded from taxiway Alpha and not the Runway 32 side. So we ended up halfway on Bravo. The lack of proper markings and barricades combined with the late evening hours and poor weather conditions led to our wrong turn. Luckily we were able to prevent any further incident and get tugged back on the runway and taxied on the specified taxiways.
