We shot an ILS Approach to 31R at DAL down to 100 ft above mins. When we broke out we were 100 ft left of the runway. We were coupled until minimums and everything was lined up. I piloted over to land under visual conditions. Fix the ILS critical area.
The reporter stated that they broke out about 350 ft above the runway and about 100 ft to the left of the centerline. The reporter stated they just maneuvered over and made an uneventful landing. The reporter also stated they discussed this with the tower and surmised the issue may have been caused by all the flights in line to land and/or the construction taking place in that area of the airport. The reporter stated that they flew the aircraft all day long and never had a problem; just this one incident. The reporter stated that the weather was awful (cloudy; rainy and foggy) with everything combined may have contributed to the confusion.
Air carrier Captain reported being 100 ft left of the runway when breaking out of the clouds on a DAL Runway 31R ILS Approach.
