I-78W to the Garden State Parkway, to I-287 over the Tappan Zee. ($15 toll). From there you can stay on I-287 and pick up I-95. The construction is over in New Haven and the last few times I've been through there the traffic was reasonable.
In your OP you said you didn't want to do the TZ Bridge, but the route you've proposed is almost double the distance as the above. You'll end up spending that $15 in fuel avoiding the toll.
Another route is to take the TZ Bridge, I-684 to I-84, then I-691 to CT 66 to CT 9, and re-connect with I-95 in Old Lyme CT. This avoids the 2 lane portion of I-95 which is usually loaded with trucks trying to pass each other but governed at 65 MPH.
From there, I-95 through Providence and pick up I-194, MA 25 over the Bourne Bridge.
