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. 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.
Light Transport Captain reported making a wrong turn during taxi at CLE airport; citing poor signage as contributing.
