I would probably take I-83 to I-81 to I-84 and thence whatever seems to make sense, probably I-90 (some toll) to I-495. Traffic still will exist potentially heavy at times, and you'll still have to cough up a toll for the bridge over the Hudson (which is pretty hard to avoid in any case if you want to travel expiditiously from west to east).
I-84 is not the most pleasant road, but IMHO preferable to the alternatives. I-95 through NYC is miserable, and through Connecticut is no picnic either, particularly in the soutwestern section of the state towards NYC.
(Arguably the best way to avoid tolls and traffic is to take Amtrak, though I assume that's not very helpful for you.)
