According to Mapquest the I-81/I-77 route, we use, avoiding the DC to NY mess will add 1 hour to our trip. However we have found that to be closer to 15 minutes or so because of the lower amount of traffic along that route. For us we have no desire to travel along the DC/NY route when going back to CT. Also not to be forgotten is the better gas mileage we get by staying away from that area of I-95.
