The quick, cheap way is just to build a floor over it.
If you are planning to build a well, just build a well over it anyway.

You should be able to construct an upward stairway on the same stair. It'll just be converted to an up/down stairway.

Or construct an updown stair just to be sure.

It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

I've gotten stuck when I try to build the up only ontop of a down stairwell. I think up stairwase have a 'floor' tile built into them, thus when you build one in 'open air' nothing can fly up through the bottom of them.

The Elves were beautiful, Mistral Thrax admitted, in and elvish way, but it was his belief that the gods grew disappointed after a time because the elves -- being elves -- were essentially decorative but not particularly functional. They were content simply to live long lives and to exist. They did not nothing of any real value, in the opinion of Mistral Thrax."

If you dug the down stair, you should be able to build over it with b-C. If you built it, d-n will remove it for you.
