We present the results of sub-arcsecond 108 GHz continuum interferometric observations toward the radio luminous galaxy 3C123. Using multi-array observations, we utilize the high u,v dynamic range of the BIMA millimeter array to sample fully spatial scales ranging from 0.5" to 50". This allows us to make one-to-one comparisons of millimeter-wavelength emission in the radio lobes and hotspots to VLA centimeter observations at 1.4, 4.9, 8.4, and 15 GHz. At 108 GHz, the bright, eastern double hotspot in the southern lobe is resolved. This is only the second time that a multiple hotspot region has been resolved in the millimeter regime. We model the synchrotron spectra of the hotspots and radio lobes using simple broken power-law models with high energy cutoffs, and discuss the hotspot spectra and their implications for models of multiple hotspot formation.
