Triathletes cause Delays on Highway 123

Traffic delays on Friday and Saturday between Seneca and Clemson are blamed on a triathlon featuring over 1,300 collegiate athletes. Highway 93 and 123 were the routes for the USA Triathlon Collegiate Club National Championship hosted by the City of Clemson. Campus Beach served as the event epicenter with the swim in Lake Hartwell, the run along Highway 93 and the bike on Highway 93 and U.S.123. By devoting the interior lane of Highway 123, drivers were forced to either wait out delays or find alternate back roads to reach their destination.
