22 is always a nightmare; avoid it.
How far south? NJT would be the best and at least you'll have lots of lanes open going NB from 8A until EWR.
If the NJT is really bad, you could get off at exit 11 for the GSP North to 78 East. If the GSP is bad, I guess you get off the GSP immediately and take Route 1 north to EWR. That will be stop and go just like Rt 22.
