Smoothly Merging loft cut and swept cut... can i loft a surface?

[asv4k8]

How can i get these two cuts to terminate along the same profile? i have tried everything i know so now I am just wondering if there is a way to loft a surface to cover that gap.. I want to adjust my lofted sketch profile but i have tried and there is just no reference points to match up with that section of the swept cut...

I would make a sketch of the trench offset to one side of the step and do an intersection curve with the trench. Then use that sketch and the step's edge to do a lofted cut. I hope this helps.
