Narrative:

We departed early hoping to beat strong thunderstorms moving into the entire area. We had to fly approximately 50-75 miles off our flight path due to weather. We descended through the layers of broken clouds in strong winds and severe turbulence. We radioed ZZZ several times with no response. We lined up on final for runway 17 with a strong thunderstorm just to the south of the airport moving north quickly on 1/2 mile final for 17 we observed construction equipment on the runway. With the thunderstorm moving close and strong turbulence; I made an immediate decision to move to the left 50 or so feet and land on the taxiway. The taxiway was clear of any equipment and personnel and the landing was successful with no incidents.
