Basically, yes.
You are required to walk across the Free Bridge. And a lot of cyclists will jog off onto Mercer st going through P-burg for a bit quieter stretch. And the turn onto Carpentersville is a
right just after the RR overpass (be ready with the small chainring).
As Ghostrider mentions, after you pass the Riegelsville Bridge, you can either take Riegelsville/Milford Rd all the way or go along the Old River Rd for a short while. Old River Rd is prettier with some cool houses and small farms and river views, and avoids a very small hill; but the pavement is pretty crummy and if the river has flooded recently it could be quite muddy back there too.
