Human Factors; Procedure
After normal touchdown; tower told us to use Taxiway Y to exit the runway followed by another instruction to expedite due to traffic on short final. I immediately increased our speed but had to slow to make the 90 degree turn onto Taxiway Y; just as we were making the turn tower instructed [aircraft on final] to go around.
Upon arrival we were cleared for approach and landing. The Captain was flying. We configured for Flaps 30; Brakes 3. We landed before sunrise. Weather was partly cloudy. Taxiway X; the midfield highspeed exit; was closed and barricaded for construction. There was no reference to the closure mentioned on the ATIS. We were NOT notified that the spacing with the aircraft behind us was an issue. Approach and landing were uneventful. During roll out deceleration was normal. We approached the intersection of taxiway X at approximately 80Kts with the autobrakes OFF. Just prior to our arrival at Taxiway X; the tower advised us to expedite to Taxiway Y and exit the runway. We discussed that Taxiway X was closed; we saw the barricades and red lights as we approached Taxiway X. We proceeded to Taxiway Y. However; the distance between Taxiway X and Taxiway Y is significant. We adjusted safely speed to expedite our exit at Taxiway Y. As we approached Taxiway Y we heard the tower advise [aircraft on final] to go around. We exited the runway at Taxiway Y and taxied to the gate.
B787 flight crew reported being told by Tower to expedite their exit off the runway well into their landing roll. Aircraft on final behind them was issued a go-around.
