Narrative:
There is construction taking place on the approach end of runway 14 at rap. The runway is shortened 1550 feet. To utilize all of the available runway a back taxi is required due to a closed taxiway. We taxied out to runway 14 via taxiway T1 and taxiway alpha. We were then cleared to back taxi runway 14. There is a displaced threshold with the construction and it was closed for taxi operations. I turned around on the wrong side of the displaced threshold line. Tower informed us of that error and cleared us for takeoff.
