I often go right by 290 on 90 east and go directly to 495 north. Much nicer ride with a boat in tow and not much longer (if it even is longer). Towing through Worscester can be exciting.

If you ever have a little time to kill and want to skip CT traffic entirely while enjoying a beautiful ride. Stay on 684 north when it turns into NY route 22 north. You can take 22 all the way to 90 and then head east. Adds 60 to 90 minutes to the trip, but it's stress-free and lovely.

You can also stay on 22 until you reach 7 east which becomes 9 east when you hit VT and NH. Route 9 will take you all the way to Concord NH and is a very nice ride as well. These roads are mostly posted at 55 so they are not that much slower than the highway. You do go through towns though.
