Runway 9R at TMB was recently re-opened after lengthening and is open during normal Tower operations. An additional intersection was added to this runway. This additional turnoff/intersection has shifted the identification of the intersections along this runway. These changes have not been charted and could [cause] confusion while exiting the runway and is in close proximity to a hot spot resident at an intersecting runway.
The Reporter stated that approximately 500 FT was added to the Runway 09 approach extending it westward. With that addition; the E taxiways were renumbered so that the commercial chart Taxiway E is now E1; E1 is now E2; E3 is now E4 and E4 is now E5. Pilots have become confused when cleared to exit Runway 9/27 and may exit on the incorrect side of the Runway 13/31 extended centerline.
TMB Runway 9R/27L was recently lengthened toward the west; but the current commercial airport chart does not reflect the additional runway and taxiway changes.
