On taxi out I noticed a large area on the taxiway was fenced off and the taxiway line had been repainted. At first I thought I must have missed it in the NOTAMs so I stopped the aircraft and reviewed the NOTAMs. The taxiway closure and unlighted fencing was NOT in the NOTAMs. Upon return to the airport I attempted to contact airport manager but his office was locked. It appears the taxiway was fenced off and the taxiway line repainted due to hangar construction adjacent to the taxiway. Without a NOTAM issued this could be hazardous; especially at night time or low visibility since the fencing is unlit.
Flight Instructor reported an area of the taxiway was fenced off and taxi lines repainted at DXE airport. Pilot states there was no NOTAM warning pilots of the change and obstruction.
