Take I-90 to I-82 to I-84 to I-80 to Omaha, then I-29 to St. Joseph, then US-36 (expressway quality) to I-72 to Champaign, then I-74 to Indianapolis, I-70 to Columbus, I-71 to I-76 through Akron, then I-80 to I-81 to Binghamton, then I-88 to Albany. Use the bypasses around the applicable cities.
Note - you can take a shortcut at Lincoln NE - take US-77 to NE/IA-2 to I-29.
I would plan on 6 full days with a 7th available for contingencies. You are looking at 3200 miles.
