Bypass PHL NYC from Assateague to Maine

Any suggestions on routes to avoid Wilmington DE and Philadelphia congestion then avoid NYC as I head out from Assateague north to pick-up I84 around Milford PA and continue on to Maine?
I am from NC so totally unfamiliar with these areas. I'm traveling in a converted Sprinter so actually prefer minimal interstate travel time and bridges are typically not an issue.
Thank you!

AbyVan-

Stay on the eastern shore
Go north until you hit 95 north in Christiana, DE
Cross the Delaware Memorial Bridge
295 north (first exit off bridge) to Ewing, NJ
31 north to Amwell, NJ
202 north to Somerville, NJ
287 north to Newburgh, NY
87 north to Ravena, NY
Mass Pike extension east to
Mass Pike to
495 north to
95 north to Maine

A Twist: Avoiding 87 South of Newburgh:

A trip in 2021 convinced me that I never want to travel 87 between Newburgh. NY and Mahwah, NJ again (at least, not in a motorhome). As a result, I found a way through northern NJ that avoids that stretch. It sounds slow and long, but it isn't bad at all.
